Federal prison lockdowns

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

I check every facility's status against the BOP'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: 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.

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.

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.
