Rulings
Detainment Spell prevents mana abilities of the enchanted creature from being activated.

Morph isn't an activated ability, so Detainment Spell doesn't prevent face-down creatures from being able to turn face up.

Responding to a creature's activated ability being activated by moving Detainment Spell onto that creature won't affect the ability that was just activated.

Bind the mind rather than the wrist, and you stop the intent to harm before it starts.
