Over the past few days there have been multiple gang beatings, gassings, and man lockups. This morning, coming in from rec,a guy was battered to oblivion by a bunch of guys waiting behind the door. This is the kind of stuff you regret hearing about and hate even more to see.I heard that there is a unit inspection today by the TDCJ officials. Apparently the recent events and ongoing unit problems were bad enough to issue a lockdown. At about eight o'clock tonight everyone was told to stay on their bunks. The dayroom was closed, the TV and lights were turned off and board games were turned in. This lockdown means that the whole unit has to stay on their bunks all day, every day, until the lockdown is lifted. As a result, no rec, no TV, no hot meals, no school, no moving around of any kind.
I really hope everything is dealt with quickly. This is supposed to be a "privilege" unit, in the warden's words. It's not much of a privilege when the actions of a few affect many more, but if it's what is necessary to bring peace back, so be it. I pray that safety and protection would be given to everyone here and that the right decisions would be made to correct the problems.
