I have been told most of the duress buttons here do not work. That’s another reason why the doors cannot be locked at a low-security prison that is not staffed for constant patrols. Someone in medical distress would have no way to contact the staff.
We’re told that we cannot keep an empty soda box in our cells as a trash can. The actual trash can is right outside the cells. But how do I get to it when the doors are locked for hours, days or weeks on end? None of this is thought out. Yet the exact same security level could be obtained by just closing the range doors instead of locking us down. They have done that here before and everything went smooth. There is never a reason to close or lock cell doors at a low.
