What does LOP mean in prison?

What does it mean if he is in a CDU? He is on LOP and now he is somewhere else. I have no idea what's going on

LOP is "loss of privileges".

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.
