Abstract: A table and seat assembly for limiting movement of ankle shackles by a client occupying the seat. The assembly includes a table supported by a first pedestal and the seat supported by a second pedestal, where the first and second pedestals are connected. A drive rod included in a locking mechanism extends from a linear sleeve bearing in the second pedestal and moves from an unlocked position in which the drive rod is not inside a receiver socket to a locking position in which the drive rod is inside the receiver socket. An individual positioned behind the seated client operates a foot pedal to move the drive rod between the unlocked and locking positions. When in the locking position, the drive rod prevents a chain or other connecting means of the ankle shackles from moving upwards between the guide socket and the receiver socket.
