Abstract
A prisoner restraint system (14) restrains kicking movement of a seated prisoner's legs by restraining movement of the prisoner's feet (94, 96) upward from positions resting on a vehicle floor (44), and by restraining forward movement of the prisoner's feet (94, 96). The prisoner restraint system (14) includes seat belt webbing (82, 86), a seat belt buckle (84), and a seat belt locking tongue (80). The prisoner restraint system (14) has an engaged condition in which the tongue (80) is interlocked with the buckle (84) to secure the webbing (82, 86) across the prisoner's lower legs (90, 92).
