(5) Particulars of the circumstances of every case in which an inmate is placed under mechanical restraint shall forthwith be recorded by the Commissioner in a book to be kept for that purpose.

(6) No instrument or apparatus of mechanical restraint shall be used except of such pattern and in such manner and under such condi tions as may from time to time be approved by the Minister.
