Neighbourhood Cops 11 - In-Cell Restraint

Many new arrivals were sent straight to bed in bleak cells.
They might be allowed some crude shorts to cover their nudity
but soon discovered that, being made of very coarse material
they were actually worse than wearing nothing
a scratchy accompaniment to sleepness nights.

 The cops kept their prisoners in constraints continuously, even in cells.
They learned how to adjust their discomfort levels.

from the refuge of their cells were abruptly ended.
For fear of a guard coming to tweak their restraints

The cops workplace quality of life was greatly improved.
