Clamp Down

there are currently proposals to extend the legal rights of staff at secure training centres (a politically correct way of saying Borstals) to use force in order to restrain children. It seems the response to an inquest questioning how much restraint is being used is to increase the amount that is legally allowed. What raises an eyebrow is the terminolog used. The aim is to grant powers to use more "distraction techniques". By the term distraction they mean sticking your fingers in someones eyes or up their nostrils. Yep, think that might distract me.
