LOP is "loss of privileges". If he was moved, it was probably to a disciplinary or special housing unit (SHU) within his complex detention unit (CDU). The loss of privileges could include limited or no visitation, limited or no phone or limited or no commissary. The length of time will stem from the charges and results of his hearing.

Refusing to take a urine test is considered "disobeying a direct order". This is viewed as "major" because without some sort of order in the prison, the staff would totally lose control. The punishment is as severe as it can be to hold out as an example to others thinking about UA refusal. He will get placed in Disciplinary Segregation, also known as the SHU, the Special Housing Unit, solitary confinement, or the "hole". There, he will be in a

Restricted housing is solitary confinement or "the hole". Evidently he was cited for some violation and as a punishment he has been sent to the hole. There is really no way of knowing how long this will be. There is literally no limit to the amount of you an inmate could spend there. It depends on what he went in there for. Was it contraband, a cellphone? Was he fighting? Or worse?  Typically an inmate will be allowed to

It is the same everywhere. When there is an "altercation", the participants are sent to the SHU ("special" housing unit) for a period of time. Depending on the severity of the altercation and how many incident reports they already jhave, they could get one to twelve months in solitary. Phone privileges are significantly reduced in the SHU to one 15-minute call per week. If the altercation was about the phone, the privileges could be suspended indefinitely.

The Secure Housing Unit (SHU) is segregated housing and it is used for disciplinary or administrative reasons. When an inmate is in PC or Protective Custody for their own safety, this is where they go to be secure from danger. Unfortunately it’s a miserable existence.

We don't know the facts, but it sounds like he did something to jeopardize his release date. You can call the facility and ask to speak to the counselor, if you are a close relative they might confide in you.

Inmates are not permitted access to the internet. However, there are some services where an inmate can pay someone on the outside to do their posts for them. BUT, if he is harassing you, you can call the facility and ask to speak with the warden's secretary. Give them the details and request a call back or you are going to the local police. This could become a serious issue so be careful

It is entirely possible they could have problems. The inmates do not look favorable on men who molest, abuse or are otherwise convicted of a crime involving children or women. Depending on the terms of the crime, the inmates will decide if there is any retribution meted out. 

Most inmates in the SHU are allowed visitation in a limited form. The SHU inmates are allowed mail and one phone 15-minute call per week. The SHU is a nasty existence. Solitary confinement could make anyone a little crazy. When I was there, every minute felt like an hour... time just drips slowly.

First, the inmate is taken into custody by the correctional officers with handcuffs. They are transported or walked to the area called the Special Housing Unit (SHU), what others call "the hole", also known as solitary confinement. Once there they are stripped-searched and given new clothing to wear. This is a special uniform for SHU inmates, usually an orage jumpsuit with lightweight blue sneakers. They are then walked shackled to their cell. It is usually a one-man cell. There, there
