The Orange County sheriff plans to appeal a judge’s ruling that all inmates should not be shackled at the waist at county courthouses.
Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said he will appeal a judge’s recent ruling ordering his department to stop its blanket policy of shackling inmates at the waist inside county courthouses, publicly attacking the move as a “significant judicial overreach.”
Roberts’ ruling, however, isn’t an absolute ban on the practice. Sheriff’s officials can still use waist restraints while transporting inmates from jail to the courthouse, Roberts wrote, and can make case-by-case requests to judges for certain inmates to be restrained even in the courthouse.
The department’s across-the-board shackling policy, he argued, is necessary to keep inmates and staff safe.
