1-5-05 CONTINUED LOCKDOWN

(This lockdown was due to a missing inmate that had tried to escape, but failed.)

The facility will remain on lock up status at least through 2nd Watch on Thursday, 1/6/05. Offenders will be fed both breakfast and lunch in their cells. Please use this time to conduct thorough searches of the common areas of your units, verify tool and key inventories, etc. This is our first priority. Once this is completed, it would be a good time either do a little winter sprucing up of bubbles, office areas etc or do some on line training.

At 1230, we will conduct a debriefing of the entire IMS incident. If you participated in the IMS incident, you are asked to attend. If you did not participate, had minimal involvement or were not working Wednesday, we ask that you provide coverage in your work area to permit those who did have active roles to attend this debriefing. The debriefing will held in the Higher Education room in Education - again at 1230.

It was very gratifying to see the facility move into action. We were extremely fortunate to have located the inmate before he was able to escape from the secure perimeter. Thank you to all responded - we all play an important role when these types of incidents occur.

1/20/06 INCIDENT RESPONSES

I just wanted to thank all staff for their part in the responses to the last couple of days' issues. We have A-East locked down for routine shakedown, B-West and Segregation to evaluate intelligence on whether or not this is gang issues or isolated incidents. We'll be meeting this afternoon to make decisions on seg and B-West, as well as transfers that would help.

1/24/06 A-EAST AND B-WEST INFORMATION

Thanks to everyone on the lock down of A-East, as well as the shakedown of the unit. As you probably already know, this was a routine lock down and shakedown which yielded a couple of shanks as well as the usual altered and stockpiled property. B-West, however, is another subject. After several fights last week, info we received Friday indicated that the problem was over. Saturday morning, however, another group of inmates started fighting. Staff did a great job quelling that fight and subsequently, B-West was locked down. We've started a shake down as well.

5-4-06 WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

Today we were able to borrow the canine teams from MCF-FRB, LL & ML/WR ( Faribault, Lino Lakes, Moose Lake/Willow River) to provide a facility presence and do some area searches. Based on information from OSI (Office of Special Investigations) we targeted several offender cells as well. The canines discovered a softball size bag of marijuana in an offender's laundry bag in his cell in D-Hall. We also had a hit in another cell which resulted in a positive UA. We did a debriefing with the canine teams which was a valuable learning experience for our staff. The canine teams asked that we relay their appreciation to the STW staff, who were very professional and accommodating.

We appreciate the willingness of the 3 mediums to loan us their canine teams. (Minnesota prisons classified as medium level of security were allowed to have dogs and handlers for those dogs) We plan to utilize canines when they are available to us. We value the information staff provide to OSI regarding suspicious offender activity.

On behalf of the Administration, thanks to all the staff who were involved in this process and the professionalism of each of you.

4-22-05 SEG RAZORS

Last night, an offender in Seg seriously injured himself. We believe he used a razor as one was recovered in his sink. Today, we found another small piece of metal which appears to be the other half of the same razor. Some of you received a previous email which stated that two razors were found. To clarify, it appears now that we have found two pieces of the same razor blade. It continues to behoove us to closely monitor offenders with razor restrictions and mental health issues as they have possible access to razors. Thanks again for your work.
