A prone restraint is a physical intervention where an individual is held face-down on the ground with their arms and legs pinned. These restraints are often used to control behavior despite the significant safety risks they pose. Prone restraints begin with a “take-down.” The victim is then turned face-down and has their arms and legs secured. Prone restraints can lead to severe injury or death due to respiratory distress and are considered a dangerous and inhumane method of behavior control.
