Well, week two has been bananas! The unit managment team issued a memo declaring modifications to out schedule:

"L-Unit will be operating under a new schedule beginning February 9, 2015. Make note of the following modifications. Yard will run on the 6/2 and 2/10 shifts, with a make-up yard on weekends, when necessary. Make-up yard will be run for inmates who signed up for yard Monday through Friday, who don't make it out to one of the three daily yards. The yard cancellation procedure for emergencies/inclement weather will remain in place. All inmates participating in law library or out-of-cell programming will attend first yard. The lunch meal will be served at 1050 instead of 0945. No other changes are anticipated at this time. Thank you for your patience during this transition. (From: W. Leggett, Major)

Also, an extra guard has been stationed here to assist in putting out the yards. These Modifications has done nothing to alleviate the crisis the administration faces. The meals are still being served cold. The yard still takes over an hour to get out. Still getting prisoners to the law library late. Basically, unit operations are still off schedule, and disrupted. The grievances are stacking up, so because of this, the unit managment has decided to switch out the whole 6/2 shift guards. Luckily for the new crew, they came just when we were hit with an Arctic blast that has kept us at temperature below zero causing yard to be canceled for days. So they haven't experienced the chaos of what the Strip Search policy has created. Things has been calm for now, and they're still stripping us out every time we exit our cells. It looks like there will be another week of Arctic temperatures which means no yard. It's funny how they had no trouble putting us out in these frigid temps that first week.
