Video diary: the Chinese leg irons explained
Remember my new heavy Chinese leg irons? A lot of fans wanted to know more about them, so here is a webcam video of me trying to explain everything about these beauties!!
These ankle cuffs are really used in China, they are rounded but very heavy, to slow down prisoners. The special thing about them is that they have lock covers. They are ultra secure (and then some). There’s a cylinder lock, which is infinitely more secure than a standard handcuff lock, because it requires unique keys. But if that’s not enough security for you, they have keyhole covers that can actually be screwed on top of the locks! These are little metal plates that prevent any tampering with the lock, and these metal plates can only be taken off with a tiny screwdriver! I love how Chinese treat their prisoners! No escape! Oh, and I love walking around the house in these (the downstairs neighbours don’t like it as much though)…
Pretty awful for the Chinese prisoners.
