Actually your probally not as qualified. Theres quite a few of us on here that have worked in maximum security federal prisons. Lockdowns do not happen that easily. I seen an officer get stabbed 7 times 3 of which in the head and they were locked down for less than a day. Your mistaken about how the point system works as well. The point system does make up your security levels as long as there are no variables. But you have to earn the right to be in a 23 hr lock down facility not the other way around. Theres only one. Thats the ADX in colorado. USP big sandy is the next level down from that. They are starting to implement a new system into some of the USPs. Its called a SMU. Special management unit. That will allow more institutions to become 23 hour lock downs without meeting the criteria to be an ADX. And there is alot of recruitment going on. Many of the crips and bloods are now muslim. Alot of DC inmates are now muslim. We even see a few white inmates becomeing muslim probally due to the fact of a couple white muslim extremist that were involve with terrorist oranizations being in prison right here in kentucky.

well i was being nice when i said that, but i'm just as qualified as you when it comes to looking at the facts and the inner workings of the prison system and giving my opinion :yikes:...working at McDonald's doesn't mean you know how to make burgers better than anyone...just means that's what you get paid to do...since you work at corrections facility i'm sure you have unique knowledge and i can respect that, but that doesn't mean i can't learn and find out for myself either....our prison system is a complete mess and needs an overhaul..my whole point in my original message which for whatever reason you don't want to talk about is felons depending on the situation deserve to get back their voting rights once they've left prison....Research shows that 60% of people in state prisons who are serving time for a drug offense have no prior history of violence or any significant selling activity....why once they get out should they lose that right...i didn't say lockdowns happen EASY....i gave situations that could be casue for a lock down and those are some...like i said every prison is different and my tour of one particular facilty...a lockdown did happen b/c of a messy bed....so it can be that EASY....does it happen consistently....no, but it does happen....i didn't have to work there to know that....street gangs are more a problem for their society when they re-enter it than they are national threat to U.S. security...like i said before they are a threat to whatever neighborhood they go back too but that's more of indictment of the whole entire prison system in general...as for islam...the religion itself can be a message of peace or a destructive weapon of hate. Clearly the peaceful part is better when dealing with inmates..Overall, the total extent of the infiltration of the prison systems remains unknown..obviousy there is recruiting go on, but like i said before there is nothing that shows anything that is a threat to the gov't....if this there is a threat to our national security, why has there not been a single successful terror attack been carried out since 9/11? Furthermore, why is it that the ten Muslim clerics of the BoP, products of the ISNA – an organization allegedly linked to extremism and terrorism - were cleared of terrorist ties and billed as moderate Muslims.....did the FBI screw that up? maybe? my whole point to begin with was voting rights depending on the crime and futhermore you can't deny someone the right to vote b/c of their religion...a christion felon and a muslim felon deserve the same right if they are allowed to vote...
