So next are mandatory seatbelts for school buses?
Children could and did usually catch themselves on pitchy, lurchy school bus rides. Impossible for cuffed prisoners, and no, we have no way of knowing that all are guilty of something even if the risk of death thereby was in fact a condign punishment for any crime.
One answer could be a webbed retainer that goes over the prisoner. So much effort to keep him from escaping the van, so little to keep him from being tossed about in it. And no, Escalades are not needed, you proud smart alecks. What would such a webbed retainer cost, $200 maybe?
Amazing isn't it.
People will get bent up out of shape(no pun intended) over prisoners not wearing seat belts, meanwhile little kids on buses aren't required to wear them.
And yes I know prisoners are handcuffed. BFD.
