A lockdown is when every inmate in the cellblock is locked in their cell. A count is done to make sure everyone is accounted for. This is done for any variety of reasons. Examples are: An inmate is not accounted for, a fight broke out, not enough staff were available to maintain security and when securing the facility at the end of every day.

Shakedown is when every inmate is locked in their cell until every cell has been thoroughly searched, supposedly. It is necessary to lockdown the block before it can be shaken down.

These searches are not announced. We generally come in one day and are told that it is happening.
