Military Prison Uniforms
The following pictures and information come from “P.O.W.” and he tells me this was inspired by The Detention Center and Volunteers Needed.
P.O.W. writes,
Dear CO,
As a frequent visitor to your blog, SIR, your work and effort is greatly appreciated.
SIR, a few weeks ago a list of guidelines for a detention center was posted. It is this humble prisoner’s recommendation that a ward should be added for military personnel. The attached photos provide suggestions for their uniform to be designated for certain tasks such as sleep, work, inspection, etc.
Military bearing is quite important for all detainees and must be strictly adhered to. Of particular interest are the POW_POV images in which prisioners are locked in cells in the floor while they watch their guards/wards perform marching drills or attend muster.
Additional uniform requirements not pictured:
gag (unless otherwise authorized for “special” duties)
jock strap
shaved head
Very Respectfully,
P.O.W.

The Chair
The Chair — No dungeon should be without one
By Chuck
I wish I had a dime for every time somebody asked me about The Chair. Heck, I’d maybe have a couple of dollars! They see the pics and imagine being strapped in it for a while. And having spent some (but not enough) time in it myself, I can say that it is a truly “refreshing” experience.
The idea began after I built an electric chair for a Halloween display. That one was made from 2×4 scraps. Sure, it looked and worked OK, but it still looked like 2×4 scraps.
So when I thought about spending a little more time on a chair for my dungeon, the first thing I did was to try to get away from the “lumber” look. I decided to use not 2x4s, but rather 2x3s for the material. I also stained it in a light color, so it looked more like an institutional finish and less like a waterbed frame.
Also, I copied a slightly smaller chair’s dimensions so that the “condemned” would get a slight squeeze as he sat into it. There’s nothing like starting to feel confined even before the first strap is pulled into place.
I’ve also made a few leather straps through the years, and early on I decided I wanted as much total immobilization as possible. This meant straps everywhere, including the neck, head and face. The final device for that proved to be a lucky combination. The head is held in place by straps on the top, sides, and chin. The 1.5-inch neck strap is very secure. Absolutely no head movement at all is possible, and the nose and forehead restraint make a perfectly light-tight blindfold as well.
As you can see, several folks have enjoyed some time in The Chair. Hopefully there will be more to come.
In the future, I plan on placing a few carriage bolts exposed on the seat, arms, legs and back, so that once the prisoner is tightly strapped in, his body will make contact with them. Then I can attach an electro box and make this a truly functioning electric chair. He’ll be firmly making contact to the bolts, and will be able to do nothing but sit there and enjoy (or not) the “treatment.”
And as they say, you can never have too many straps!
Metal would like to thank Chuck for sending in this information and the pictures. Chuck can be found on Gearfetish as Kuffed. He is Yossie’s collared pup, and he also stops over to see the fine folks at SeriousMaleBondage from time to time.

Mikeintightpants tries on some rare restraints
Rare Restraints
By Mikeintightpants
On occasions I’ve been very fortunate to handle and to wear some of the rarest restraints around and thought I’d share a few pics with you. Replicas of these restraints exist but the ones shown here are all the real things and I consider myself very fortunate to have been allowed to wear them – and of course some might say I’m even more fortunate to have been released from them!
McKenzie Mitts – a device that covers the hands and wrists, leaving only the fingers exposed, it also chains the hands together and is attached to a bellychain that locks round the waist. Were used for prisoner transportation.
Oregon Boot (also known as the Gardner Shackle) – a very heavy metal shackle that locks round one ankle and is supported by a metal brace that fits under the heel of the prisoner’s boot. Was used for prisoner transportation and also for punishment in some prisons.
Guiteau handcuffs – reckoned to be the rarest handcuffs, only 4 pairs known to exist. This model of cuffs was rumoured to have been used on Charles Guiteau the convicted assassin of President James Garfield (hence their name) but this has not been proved.
Incidentally none of these items are in my own collection, but they are all on my wish-list … dream on, Mike!!

Louis shares tips for safe bondage play
Hey guys, blog reader Louis of the Self-Bondage on Steroids post has passed along the following tips for safe bondage play. It’s good advice, if you ask me.
Louis writes,
Dear Metal,
Here is my list for bondage play:
1. Never play with a ligature around your neck. Or anything that could act as a ligature around your neck. Never play with strangulation.
2. If you do bondage, have a backup. This applies to all types of bondage. It is better to play with two bondage-buddies than just one. Play parties can provide tens of backups. The Delta and Inferno runs have specific designated individuals to keep the play safe. When I do self-bondage I have three separate timers and someone who will check on me if I don’t show up.
3. Don’t eat, drink, or take drugs excessively prior to play. Don’t play when sick.
4. Throwing up and passing out need to be planned for even if unlikely. They both can quickly result in dangerous bondage scene.
5. Don’t obstruct your breathing. Most autoerotic deaths are the result of asphyxia. The one death I know of at a play party was also the result of asphyxia. So DO NOT obstruct your breathing if doing self-bondage. If your breathing becomes blocked, even when playing with others, there is only about three minutes for your play partner(s) to recognize the problem and fix it. Gags, gas masks, any form of breath-control, and most hoods are inherently unsafe in self-bondage.
6. Play with safe people. That means people who don’t use drugs, alcohol or marijuana excessively prior to play. People who will pay attention. If you are new to bondage, play parties are a safe place to meet people. Once you know people in the scene, play with people your friends know and have played with. Talk to strangers, just don’t let them tie you up, especially at your place. If you insist on playing with strangers make sure a friend knows with who and where you are playing. See item #1 – have a backup.
7. If you play by yourself it is safer if you are mobile enough to get out of the building or call 911 in the US (for other countries see: https://www.sccfd.org/travel.html). Remember, you really will not die from embarrassment.
8. If you do long term play, make sure you can get water and food. I have heard you can go without air for three minutes, without water for three days, and without food for three weeks. So for self-bondage air and water gives you a “safety-window” of three weeks for someone to find you.
9. Have at least two keys for every lock. Know where the keys are. Store locks locked, it forces you to check the lock by unlocking it prior to use. For self-bondage make sure you can not only reach the needed keys, but that you can also get the keys into the lock. Have a knife or scissors for cutting straps and rope. Have a grinder for cutting locks, chains, handcuffs, and leg irons. (And if you play with rivets, cutting rivets.) Make sure you can reach the needed keys.
Play safe. Be safe. I believe that if self-bondage is carefully done it is probably as safe as other risky activities such as surfing, skydiving, scuba diving, and flying. These and many other risky activities can be done safely with the proper planning, precautions, and preparation.
Sincerely,
