Hi. I have a PP in USP Tucson. He was in lockdown from the 12th to the 17th and now it may be again. Anyone know if it's in lockdown again?

I am aware of the lockdown in Tucson federal prison last week. My son was talking to his girlfriend Satuday night when the line went dead. I saw in news reports that someone escaped from the "camp" Friday night. Would that cause a lockdown in the USP? Anyone know anything? Thanks!

Hi rc3350: it seems they might be in lock down again. I do know that they can still receive mail and send out letters. So if it last too long, we might get letters to explain. Sucks that it happened again so fast. Let's pray it's short and won't happen again EVER.....

Yeah my BF emailed me yesterday afternoon and told me they were going on lockdown again and it might be awhile so who knows! I swear I have a visit coming up soon and they have been on lockdown alot the past few weeks. I just hope and pray they get off soon! If I hear anything else I will let you know! (USP TUCSON)

thanks butterfly. yeah, that's always a worry as far as lockdowns and visits. my son has been there one month so we are learning the ropes. thank God they can receive and sent mail while in lockdown. i am getting new to this "prison talk" website so don't know where my posts will end up. glad to have a support system, eh? hope you get to visit soon and enjoy that man!!!

Butterfly81526 · #82 08-24-2011, 01:00 PM

farmgirl47~Yeah this is all new to me as well. Im on the east coast so visits are hard to come by so hopefully I can make it out in a few weeks like planned! Thanks for the support! Email me anytime with questions, my bf has been there about a year now

farmgirl47 · #83 08-24-2011, 02:48 PM

hey butterfly - we are in the Pacfic NW so closer than you - so hard to be SO far away! It would be great to correspond via email and support each other in an easier way than this website. I'll give it a try...not sure how to access your email address but will keep clicking! I did have a question wondering how your by can email - I thought the lockdown went into effect Saturday the 20th since that's when my son and his girlfriend were talking and the line went dead......

So I am guessing no one has information on the medium in Tucson? I know there are two different sides, but had heard it is a Protective Custody yard? Any word out there..thank you~!

amazggrace · #85 11-21-2011, 02:39 PM

And we cant understand why hes ending up there he is one of most none violent people you could ever meet he truly does not need high security and bieng his first non violent crime he does not deserve it. Can it be requested he go somewhere else since there is still a little time left? Any help would be appreciated. WE are just at a loss. Thank you.

My brother is at USP Tucson he has been there now almost 3 years. He seems to like it for the most part. They get free time and good food. We just got back from visiting in June2012. This facility houses 90% SO sex offenders mostly non-violent people.There are gangs, and native americans. I find the counselors are mean and not very helpful to those of us who want to pay visits or helpful to the prisoner. If you want to know more, private message me and we can talk.

Does anyone have loved one there?

My brother is there, almost 3 years now.

My husband is currently at USP Terre Haute and we are considering a transfer to USP Tucson because it I'd in our home region and family will be able to visit. Does anyone have any info about this facility?

I am moving your post to the USP Tuscon sticky. You may be able to find some answer's in there.

lopez4ever · #90 03-08-2013, 08:46 PM

Anybody heard anything from this prison? My husband normally calls me every afternoon and today nothing. wondering if they are on lockdown.. if you know anything please let me know.

Thanks!

farmgirl47 · #91 03-09-2013, 05:58 PM

hello - it's about 5pm Pacific time on Sat 3/9 and I haven't heard from my lo since Thursday evening....so I am figuring it's a lockdown......

farmgirl47 · #92 03-11-2013, 12:30 PM

I suspect by now that everyone with loved ones at USP Tucson knows there was an inmate murder in one of the units. They are off lockdown as of this morning. God be with our loved ones and with the families of those victims. So sad........

lopez4ever · #93 04-24-2013, 01:14 PM

Does anyone know if USP Tucson is on lockdown? Haven't heard or received email from my husband. just wondering if it's a lockdown or something else going on....
Any replys would be appreciated,
