mentally ill person cure them? There are further claims about their use in understaffed asylums. This claim needs a citation. On the face of it the idea seems plausible but if you think the whole thing through it is not a viable concept given the number of people presumably required to initially 'jacket' a violent patient. My experience and personal investigation indicate that the press and other media have (for obvious reasons) exaggerated the amount of violence experienced in mental health hospitals and clinics. The idea that these garments were used "extensively" certainly requires a reference.

I came to this article after reading Jack Black's "You Can't Win", where he says he was punished/tortured while in a prison by being made to wear a straitjacket, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of this. Does anyone know anything about this? If it's true it would be a valuable addition to the

Straitjackets are still in use in many countries including the USA and Spain . In the USA you need a doctor's prescription in order to obtain a straitjacket.

Having spent a significant amount of my professional life in UK mental health care I must seek some references for the claims made in the article about their use in these establishments. The article states that straitjackets were used in "the cure of mental illness". In what way does restraining a

It is impossible to prove a negative but I can tell you that no mental health organization in the US would use it as it would fail JCAHO (ergo, no insurance reimbursement). As someone who has practiced in both the US and Canada for the past decade I can say I have never seen one of these devices.

A question - there's an overabundance of BDSM-referenced material in wikipedia. Is it really appropriate to have a fetish-oriented picture on a page that has very little material realted to it, in particular when there is already a sufficient image showing a posey jacket? I think the 'leather

I agree that much more could be said about the institutional use and history of straitjackets. Arguably even

I feel like the page is missing information when it comes to contemporary legality and usage of straitjackets (like, are they still in frequent use and if so, where?) that could really help provide context. I'mma put up a template to that effect.

I wonder whether and in what places and circumstances straightjackets are still used today, aside from magic shows and bondage sex activities? Are these still in use in hospitals, psychiatric institutions, and law enforcement? Why or why not?
