Short shackling is a technique used to restrain individuals.
The suspect's hands are shackled to an eyebolt in the floor, so that the suspect is forced to lie in a fetal position or squat.[1] It is believed that the suspect's feet are also bound to the eyebolt, similar to hogtying, but this has not been confirmed in any government reports.[citation needed]
This torture technique can cause flesh wounds (primarily of the wrists) and/or scarring from the tension on the shackles.
