leg irons

Leg-irons: chains (heavy) locked onto prisoners' ankles These devices are designed only to prevent fleeing, or evasion. I favor public execution with the criminal first on display in wooden stocks and then ending up as a decapitated head at the hands of a guillotine - so, I guess that part there depends on whether or not we like criminals anymore (probably no need to ruin perfectly good furniture anyway). They were another containment method for the prisoners. This piece will explore the past of leg irons, evolution in construct and impact they have had on people physically as well through neuroscience.

Leg irons are not a new invention and can trace their history as far back into antiquity. It was often used as a form of judicial punishment. In some of the earliest days, leg irons were just massive chains that weighed a ton and took significant effort to get off. This means that when people were imprisoned, they would be thrown into a dark and creepy place such as a dungeon with their feet fastened to the ground. They put in there for long time, sometimes days/ weeks and any. So many suffered, and lives were lost in these abominable conditions. This photo reveal you how more menacing and dangerous the use of leg iron would be.

The evolution of leg irons

Today, however theyre not as popular for usage like before. Today, they are more common in the hands of police officers needing to control someone who has been arrested. Modern leg irons are typically lighter (typically two pounds or less) and made of higher qualtity material such as aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, etc. The newer leg shackles are not as cumbersome or uncomfortable but they still aren't a great thing to have wrapped around your ankles. While these have been altered, they are still deadly to people and all of those affected by them.

Wearing the gun vault is often associated with humiliation and shame on a psychological level. It can make people feel like they are being harassed or even dehumanized. This can result in anger and sadness. Furthermore, some people may experience mental health problems after being shackled by the legs. This demonstrates just how harmful leg irons can be, both to the body and psyche.
