Are you talking about a straight jacket, or a straitjacket? Not quite the same.

Temple Grandin found that a cattle press calmed down cattle and some other animals, and she devised one for herself, and found it quite helpful at calming herself too. But that was voluntary on her part, not something that was being done to her.
