ABSTRACT:
A safety restraint apparatus that includes an upper and lower frame which each have lock mechanisms conveniently located out of the reach of the prisoners and readily accessible to the law enforcement personnel from the entrance way. The upper restraint frame is pivotally connected to the ceiling and is suspended above the prisoners in a released position to prevent interference upon ingress and egress. The upper frame pivots downward into a restraint position to prevent the prisoners from standing or moving about within the vehicle. The lower restraint frame pivots horizontally into a restraint position to secure the prisoner's ankles and legs. Each restraint frame includes a padded cross bar which overlies the prisoners' upper and lower bodies not only to brace the prisoners against impact but also to prevent the prisoner from voluntarily moving about with in the vehicle. The upper and lower frames can be quickly pivoted between the restraint and entry positions from the entrance way without entering the prisoner area.
