TDCJ security lockdown schedule
« on: May 31, 2014, 01:11:55 am »
When inmates in TDCJ are placed on security lockdown (not the twice-yearly planned lockdowns), they should receive the schedule relating to how the lockdown will proceed. Below is that schedule. It should be noted that the use of "you" is collective: if one or some inmates cannot behave, then all inmates in that part of the unit or in the prison as a whole will be subject to the lockdown.

TDCJ Lockdown Schedule
Notice to Offenders

You have been placed on a lockdown status because of disruptive behaviour or security reasons. This status has been imposed and will continue to be imposed until such time as this disruptive behaviour is eliminated or the security reasons no longer exist. To ensure you understand the conditions and process of your return to normal activities, the progressive release schedule is explained below.

WEEK ONE

You will receive showers and necessities three times weekly, and you will only receive sack lunches. Visitation privileges may be suspended. You will not be permitted dayroom privileges. If your behaviour is acceptable, you will proceed to week two.

WEEK TWO

You will receive showers and necessities three times weekly. You will receive commissary privileges one day. Hygiene items, one of each, and correspondence supplies, at a limit of $10 will be allowed with one spend for a total of $20 every two weeks. You will receive a hot lunch one time during the week if unit design allows, and sack lunches for all other meals. Visitation privileges may be suspended. You will not be permitted dayroom privileges. If your behaviour is acceptable, you will progress to week three.

WEEK THREE
You will receive showers and necessities three times weekly. You will receive commissary privileges one day. Hygiene items, one of each, and correspondence supplies, at a limit of $10 will be allowed with one spend for a total of $20 every two weeks. You will receiev a hot lunch and supper three days if unit design allows, and sack lunches for all other meals. Visitation privileges will be reinstated if suspended. You will be permitted limited dayroom privileges as appropriate for your custody designation. If your behaviour is acceptable, you will progress to week four.

WEEK FOUR
You will receive showers and necessities three times weekly. You will receive regular commissary purchase privileges one day, as appropriate for your custody designation. Daily hot lunch and supper privileges will be returned, and visitation privileges will continue. You will be permitted limited dayroom privileges, as appropriate for your custody designation. You may be allowed to return to work at the Warden's discretion. Upon approval by the Warden, the lockdown will be lifted.

Generally all meals will be delivered via use of the food tray slot. If your cell does not have a food tray slot, to receive a meal while on lockdown status, you must go to the rear of your cell, face the wall, kneel down, and place both hands behind your back. When you have followed these procedures, your meal will be placed inside the cell door.

If at any period during these four weeks there is a recurrence of disruptive behaviour, the unit or portion involved may be returned to Week One of the lockdown schedule.
There and back again....
