Can anyone explain to me why the handcuffs are tied to a chain around his body? It's obviously to limit his arm movement so he can't put someone in a e.g. a chokehold, but why are they not just holding his arms in that case? IIRC it's my first time seeing a chain used for that. Are they so afraid of him?

It's pretty common practice to do when an inmate is going to be outside prison walls for transportation or court trips. At least in NY it is.

I was taken to jail for a night and they put those on me. For reckless driving.

Maybe they were worried that you'd drive them crazy.

Rather than a chain I've seen a kind of thick leather belt with a metal hook on our being used specifically for that.

It looked more adequate than the chain.
