| Control by Electrical Restraints The stun belt and there is even a patent (see 1 2 3 4 & use the button in the bottom right hand corner to enlarge picture) for a set of stun cuffs, use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable a prisoner attacker for several minutes. The stun belt does not rely on pain for it's results if you believe the makers. The energy stored in the stun unit is "dumped" into the prisoner's muscle system which causes them to do a great deal of work very rapidly. This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the prisoner's blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid. In short, he is unable to produce any energy for his muscles, so his body is unable to function. The stun belt also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement. When the prisoner's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed by the stun unit, he loses his balance as well as the desire to screw with his guards. Should the prisoner be touching you when the stun occurs, the current WILL NOT pass to your body! There are three know stun belts or R.E.A.C.T. (Remote Electronically Activated Controlled Technology) being made currently. The REACT stun belt, made by Stun-Tech Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, USofA is considered to be the best but not easily obtained. A belt of this type costs between $ 700 and $800. In its promotional literature, Stun Tech lauds the deterrent value of its product: "After all, if you were wearing a contraption around your waist that by the mere push of a button in someone else's hand could make you defecate or urinate yourself, what would that do to you from a psychological standpoint?" Nova Products of Tennessee a competitor of Stun Tech, touts the "take-down" quality of its electro-shock weapons. Most of the products out on the market, the company's Web site claims, "will not take a person down .... Nova products are superior because they will take a person down." Strapped around the inmate's waist, the belt delivers an 8-second 50,000-volt charge through electrodes placed near the kidneys, triggered by remote control that can be as far as 300 feet away. The shock can cause involuntary defecation and urination. In the words of one police officer, who submitted to a trial run of the belt, the shock felt as if someone, with "nine inch nails tried to rip my sides out."

The Band-It™ prevents prisoners from grabbing any sort of weapon from law enforcement personnel. The device consists of an electronic cuff that is placed on the subject, and delivers an immobilizing shock if the subject attempts to attack anyone. The shock can be delivered by an operator up to 150 feet away through a wireless remote. The Band-It™ emits 45,000-50,000 volts at 4-6 milliamps output, which is enough power to temporarily immobilize a prisoner. "We made the Band-It™ to give law enforcement a responsible, less-than-lethal way to maintain courthouse security," said Mr. Gruder. "It is designed to protect everyone involved in the transport of prisoners - police and corrections officers, judges, court officers and the defendants themselves." Defendants and prisoners wearing the Band-It™ are informed in advance that the device will be activated if they attempt an assault or make any hostile movements during the court proceedings, or if they attempt to escape custody or tamper with the Band-It™ system. The Band-It™ was used on the "Virginia Sniper," John Allen Muhammad, who was convicted of several Washington DC-area murders in 2003.
