Lockdown alerts

Know when visiting stops

The BOP publishes an operations level for every facility and I check it every five minutes. Pick the facilities you care about and you'll get one email when a visiting suspension starts and one when it lifts. No newsletter, no drip sequence, nothing else, ever.

One in, one out
The watchlist
You'll confirm it once before anything sends. Never published, never shared, never used for anything but these alerts.
Facilities to watch

Alerts come from the BOP's public data plus family reports I've been able to stand behind. The BOP under-reports disruptions; an email from me means it's on the record, but silence doesn't guarantee all is well.
