What is the intended outcome of using incapacitation techniques?

The intended outcome of using incapacitation techniques is to cause the immediate, temporary cessation of violent behavior. This approach is applied in situations where an inmate poses an imminent threat to themselves or others. By using incapacitation techniques, officers aim to neutralize the immediate danger without causing prolonged harm or permanent restrictions. The focus is on quickly and safely resolving a situation to restore order, allowing for further appropriate interventions or assessments to occur later.

Although other options might pertain to broader correctional goals, they do not specifically capture the immediate intent and function of incapacitation techniques, which is primarily focused on addressing urgent threats effectively and efficiently.
