On March 24, 2024, we were notified in a memo that cannot be printed that we will be locked in at 1:45 p.m. each day until further notice. The reason is vague, only for the “security” of the institution. Visits are canceled and we are limited to 10-minute phone calls.
There is a reason why no one exercises their rights to remedy the situation here by filing grievances. I asked for a form to file concerning some personal they indiscriminately threw away and was told the three times they don’t have it. Then I was told (politely!) that there would be “consequences” for following through.
I’ve been through a lot in the 23 + years I’ve been in, but this spot is more dangerous for doing time than any other spot I’ve been to.
Update: On May 5, 2024, a revised schedule was issued: On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we’re alloweed out our cells after dinner until 8:40 p.m. The rest of the week, we’re still locked down at 1:45 p.m. for the remainder of the day.\
Update: On Oct. 14, we began to be let out at 3:15 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends and holidays, we’re let out now at 1:45 p.m. We started being allowed visits again about two weeks ago.
