# Federal prison lockdowns

**Suspensions running** 4 facilities are showing a visiting suspension right now.

I check every facility's status against the BOP (the federal Bureau of Prisons)'s own data every five minutes. This page is the whole record in one place: what is suspended right now, what was suspended on any given day, and how long each one ran. The per facility pages carry the same thing one place at a time.

Two things worth knowing before you read it. The BOP under-reports, so a day showing nothing is their claim rather than a promise. And some of these were reported by families first and only later showed up in the BOP's data, which is marked on every entry.

Citing this? [How the data is collected](https://federalprisondude.com/resources/how-i-track-federal-prison-lockdowns): the source, the five-minute interval, why every timestamp lands on the hour, how family reports are handled, and what the record cannot tell you.

**Need help with this? Just ask.**

These pages cover the general rules. Your situation has details they don't. Email me a question. **Answers are free** , and "you don't need to pay anyone for this" is my most common answer.

[hello@federalprisondude.com](mailto:hello@federalprisondude.com?subject=Question%20about%20a%20lockdown)

I answer in the order received, usually within a couple of days. I have a day job. If your situation genuinely needs more than an email, I take a limited number of consults, so say so and we'll work it out.
