When a facility says an inmate is in lockdown and the email system is simultaneously blocking your messages, those two things are almost certainly connected. There are two different kinds of lockdown worth understanding. A facility-wide lockdown affects everyone at once, usually due to an incident, a search, or a staffing situation.

Tallahatchie is simply a holding point while the transfer logistics get arranged. What you will not get is any advance notice of when it happens. That is by design. Transfer dates, times, and routes are kept confidential for security reasons. The facility will not tell you, and your son likely will not know until the
