MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
STAND-UP SEARCH
The stand-up search is a quick search of the inmate for weapons and
contraband. In making the search, the searcher has the inmate stand with his
back to the searcher. The searcher's assistant takes a position where he can
watch the inmate. The searcher commands the inmate to spread his feet and
extend his arms above his head. The searcher then searches the inmate from
head to feet, crushing the clothing to locate any concealed weapons or
contrabands. When the search is complete, flexcuffs or hand irons are put on the
inmate.
Page 34 of 65 pages
WALL SEARCH
When a weapon is found, or when other factors indicate the need, a wall
search is conducted. By rendering an inmate helpless by placing him in an
awkward position, the wall search affords safety to the searcher. Wall searches
are particularly useful when searching several inmates. Any upright surface can
be used.
To begin the search, the searcher has the inmate face the wall or other
surface and lean spread-eagled against it. The searcher makes sure the inmate's
feet are well apart. The inmate's head must be kept down. The searcher's
assistant stands on the side of the inmate opposite the searcher and to the rear.
When the searcher moves to the other side of the inmate, the assistant also
changes position. The searcher walks around the assistant when changing sides
to avoid coming between the inmate and the assistant guarding the HP/RI.
Page 35 of 65 pages
If the HP/RI resists or tries to escape and must be restrained before the
search is completed, the entire search is repeated from the beginning. If flexcuffs
or hand irons are applied before the wall search is completed, the inmate's
forehead is placed against the wall to provide support in place of the hands.
Flexcuffs or hand irons are applied when the wall search is complete.
When searching two or more inmates, the searcher has them lean spread-
eagled against the same wall, but far enough apart so they cannot reach one
another. The searcher's assistant takes a position a few paces to the rear of the
inmates. The searcher begins the search with the inmate on the right. After
searching each inmate, the searcher has him move to the left end of the line and
resume the wall-search position. This keeps the searcher from coming between
the assistant and an inmate.
CARRY METHODS
The HP/RI may try to resist by stiffening and forcing himself out of the
cradle. To counteract this resistance, one personnel gets behind the inmate and
grasps the HP/RI under the arms. He locks his hands in front of the HP/RI's chest
for a more secure hold. The second personnel stands to one side of the HP/RI
and encircles the inmate's legs at the knees with his arm.

COME-ALONG HOLDS
Gooseneck Come-Along
his fingers across the back of the inmate's hand. He locks both his elbows tightly
to his side and steps up beside the inmate. He applies pressure as he steps up
beside the HP/RI. He presses down on the back of the inmate's hand, bending it
under toward the forearm.
Front Hammerlock
For the front hammerlock the jail personnel faces the inmate. He steps
forward with his right foot to the outside of the HP/RI's right foot. He grasps the
HP/RI's right arm at the elbow with the jail personnel 's right hand palm up. The
jail personnel breaks the HP/RI's balance by pulling the HP/RI's right arm slightly
away from the HP/RIs body. As he pivots behind the HP/RI, he strikes the
Page 42 of 65 pages
inmate's right wrist with his left wrist and bends the HP/RI's arm to the rear. As
the jail personnel completes the pivot behind the inmate, he drives his left fist
straight up until the inmate's right wrist rests in the bend of the jail personnel 's
left arm. He then rotates his left hand down, grasping the inmate's right elbow.
He pulls the HP/RI's right elbow tightly against his stomach. The inmate may be
leaning forward in this position. The jail personnel completes the hold by
reaching with his right hand over the HP/RI's shoulder and grasping the left side
of the HP/RI's face. The jail personnel applies pressure by turning the inmate's
head to the right, pushing down with his left hand, and pulling up with his left
elbow.

Fingers Come-Along
inmate's fingers down with his right hand. The jail personnel applies pressure by
keeping the inmate's arm locked straight and by pulling the inmate's fingers
straight back toward the inmate's elbow. This hold can be applied on either hand.
Groin Lift
The groin lift is used to remove a resisting inmate from a wall or move him
through a doorway. The jail personnel approaches the inmate from the rear. He
steps for-ward and places his left foot next to the inmates left foot. He grasps the
inmate's left wrist with his left hand, pulling the inmate's hand sharply down
between the inmate's legs. The jail personnel then grasps the inmate's left hand
Page 45 of 65 pages
with his right hand and pulls the inmate's arm up into the inmate's groin. He
reaches with his left hand and grabs the inmate's shoulder or collar. He can then
move the inmate forward or backward by lifting the inmate's arm against the
inmate's groin as he pushes down on the inmate's shoulder with his left hand.

Baton Come-Along
For the baton come-along the jail personnel grasps the center of the baton
with his right hand. He approaches the inmate from behind. He rotates the baton
to a position parallel with his right arm and pointed toward the inmate. He thrusts
the baton between the inmate's legs. He rotates his right hand so that his palm is
turned up. He then pulls back and up, placing the baton across the inmate's
upper thighs.
The jail personnel reaches up with his left hand and grasps the inmate's
collar near the back of his neck. To move the inmate, the jail personnel keeps his
right hand as straight as possible and exerts upward pressure from the shoulder.
Simultaneously, he pushes forward with his left hand. This keeps the inmate on
his toes and off balance to his front.

Hammerlock Come-Along
For the hammerlock come-along the jail personnel holds the baton in his right
hand. He steps forward with his right foot and between the inmate's left arm and
body. As the baton passes to the rear of the the baton passes to the rear of the
inmate's body, the jail personnel pushes up and to the rear. He steps forward
with his left foot to the outside of the inmate's left foot. He then reaches across
the inmate's left shoulder with his left hand and grasps the striking end of the
baton. Pivoting on the ball of his left foot, he moves to the inmate's left rear. At
the same time, he presses down with his left hand on the striking end of the
baton in the direction of the inmate's left front. He also presses up on the grip end
of the baton with his right hand. This bends the inmate well forward at the waist.
Page 48 of 65 pages
After the inmate has been subdued, the jail personnel holds the baton
firmly with his right hand and releases his left hand. He reaches across the
striking end of the baton with his left hand and grasps the right side of the
inmate's face under the jaw bone and forces the inmate's face to the left,
straightening him up. To apply pressure, he presses down on the striking end of
the baton with his left upper arm and pulls up on the grip of the baton with his
right hand.
