Rigid wrist restraint for Lewis Thornton Powell
This is a famous picture of Lewis Thornton Powell, who was one of the people arrested after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865:
This is an early police mugshot of Powell (also known as Lewis Paine or Payne), who was one of the people put on trial and later executed for taking part in the conspiracy to kill the 16th president of the United States. What I like about this picture, of course, is the rigid wrist restraint he’s locked in.
According to the website A Little Touch Of History, strict security measures were put in to place during the trial, including the use of canvas hoods for the prisoners, to prevent them from talking with each other.
During the trial, the Military Governor showed compassion towards the prisoners and said the inmates who wore the canvas hoods could be allowed to take them off — EXCEPT for Powell, because “The hood didn’t seem to bother him as much as the others.”
Powell and George Atzerodt were also reportedly restrained with a ball and chain, although I was not able to find pictures of the ball and chain.
Here are more pictures of the restraints, and a shot of Powell just before the execution:

Padded Cell Inmate spends the day in a heavy hood
The Warden is taking good care of the Padded Cell Inmate! He sent the pictures above — along with the following information:
Eight hours of this he REALLY didn’t enjoy and he had earplugs under the 3-4mm thick hood.
Its about 1/4 inch thick and has nose holes and a cock type hollow gag inside with a small hole at the end it keeps your mouth open as its hard to close your mouth on such thick rubber.
Even though I unbuckled his arms he could still not remove the hood as he could not feel the zipper end under the locking humane restraint collar. He is of course wearing the matching ankle and wrist cuffs inside the strait jacket.
Thanks, Warden, for making this ordeal challenging for the inmate — and interesting for those who are following it here on the Metalbond blog!

Really great pics from the inmate. I like them all and envy the pig.
The mask is great, must be great to feel the heavy rubber over your head.

Awesome hood!

Kinky minds want to know: was his head shaved prior to any of the padded cell sentence? Would make that hood fit even closer!

I have to say, I don’t actually like this hood. It’s not very appealing looking at all and looks quite intense to wear.

I don’t like the hood either. Maybe it was too much? I can imagine how distressed the inmate was with that thing locked on his head.
But I love the Padded Cell scene, and I hope we keep receiving more pictures and updates from the Warden.

Prisoners in the padded cell have NO CHOICE what kind of hood is used. If you don’t like it, too fucking bad!

Wow … they are really hot … i would wear this hood as much as U want …
The Warden
It’s not a matter of like or dislike, once you’re in the cell you have to put up with whatever comes and I have to tell you he didn’t like it but I am sure he appreciated the different feel and position after such a long time in other things. ANY sensation it looked forward to after a week or so in the cell.
No, he was not shaved that would have made the hood feel far too comfortable.
He got JUST enough light in to keep him awake as well.
