February 2007

Lockdown

2/21/2007

 
The morning began uneventfully. It started out as just another day in prison. But even in here the daily routine is never a certainty...
So after a lunch meal of macaroni and cheese, and after we returned to our cells to await the 12:45 call to report to our respective work assignments or classes, it was announced that we were to instead remain in our cells until further notice.

It's now 8 P.M. We're on a "lockdown." Therefore, all the inmates in the entire facility are hereby confined to our cells while the guards conduct a search for weapons and other contraband.

Thus far only a small selection of cells in my housing unit were "hit (searched)" by the officers. They apparently had certain prisoners whom they wanted to check first. Then, perhaps within the next day or two, the guards will be searching through all our belongings. But at this juncture I'm not sure.

Nevertheless, a lockdown means total 24-hour confinement. And this also means no Bible study tonight at chapel, and no yard or shower.

The lockdown may last for a day, or several days. It may even be over by tomorrow. Earlier, however, when the lockdown first began, many of the men stood by the front of their cells calling to one another to relay an assortment of personal messages. Some of the men were also making guesses as to what is going on and when this will end. No one knows.

D.B.
