Death by Restraint

Restraint methods involve a degree of force that is especially deadly for the young who do not have the ability to expand their chests against the weight of an adult, accounting for the many restraint deaths each year�including those of Roshelle Clayborne, Tristan Sovern and Randy Steele. But restraint devices and holds in widespread use within mental health facilities can cause a patient of any age to asphyxiate even if the mouth and nose are not blocked. The restraint is more dangerous when coupled with mouth coverings or drugs that suppress respiration. Those responsible for killing patients are rarely criminally charged as such holds are accepted psychiatric procedure.
