Trousdale Turner lockdowns, quarantine status, and what it meant for phone calls and family contact

Trousdale Turner went on lockdown while staff moved incarcerated people to quarantine status. During this kind of shift, normal routines slow down - count times, housing changes, access to shared services. The priority becomes separating people and managing health precautions.

During this same period, Trousdale Turner temporarily suspended phone calls until Monday, May 4, 2020. The pause was tied directly to moving inmates to quarantine status. Even though phone calls were normally allowed, that specific window came with a disruption while the facility adjusted housing and operations.
