25following reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the
26committed person or another person; (ii) because the committed

 

 

10300HB5431ham001- 19 -LRB103 39388 AWJ 71862 a

1person has a history of disruptive behavior that has placed
2others in potentially harmful situations or presents a
3substantial risk of inflicting physical harm on himself or
4herself or others as evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii)
5there is a well-founded belief that the committed person
6presents a substantial risk of flight. Any restraints used on
7a committed person under this paragraph shall be the least
8restrictive restraints necessary to prevent flight or physical
9harm to the committed person or another person. Restraints
10shall not be used on the committed person as provided in this
11paragraph if medical personnel determine that the restraints
12would impede medical treatment. Under no circumstances may leg
13irons or shackles or waist shackles be used on any pregnant
14committed person female prisoner who is in labor. In addition,
15restraint of a pregnant committed person female prisoner in
16the custody of the Cook County shall comply with Section
173-15003.6 of the Counties Code.
18    The hospital or medical facility may establish protocols
19for the receipt of committed persons in collaboration with the
20Department of Juvenile Justice, specifically with regard to
21persons recently exhibiting violence.
