Committee on Criminal Justice Title: A Policy Analysis of Shackling Youth in Florida's Juvenile Courts Summary: During the last several legislative sessions, there has been legislation filed to address the issue of shackling youth in juvenile courts throughout Florida. The practice of "shackling" refers to restricting the movement of youth by handcuffs, leg restraints, and/or belly chains (otherwise known as mechanical restraints). Child advocates express dismay at the practice while proponents of the practice point to the importance of maintaining public safety. This interim project contains a policy analysis of shackling youth in juvenile courts, including a discussion of the ensuing debate surrounding the issue, a review of shackling practices in Florida, and options for addressing it.
