They originate back when sevants were shackled in to ships to row them. Also used for slaves, they are metal wrist and ankle cuffs that are attached by a chain and can be secured to another fixed object using locks.
Now used for the transportation of criminals

"Shackles" are chains and they are used to imprison someone. You also can use spell check and dictionaries to get this answer. Dig a little deeper, it makes you smart.
