A "Lockdown" is where all prisoners are locked in their rooms or whatever room they happen to be in at the time. This is used during times that the officials need to command total control within the prison. Times of riot, fights, searches, etc...

Usually means prisoners are confined to cells. No excercise yard. No visitors. Perhaps some cells will be searched for illegal drugs, knives etc. Security is tightened. Guards armed.

Where can I find the information that will tell me if the prison is on lockdown status?

At the prison. Calling will do no good. Prison officials will not share the current security status of the prison over the phone, and you could only know by visiting the prison because, depending on the reason for lockdown, there will either be a waiting room full of family members waiting to visit, or they will not allow civilians to enter. No one will tell you officially that the prison is on lockdown.

What is the aftermath of a prison lockdown?

The cause of the whole lockdown may begin with somebody attempting to escape, a missing person, riot, death of an inmate, or a fight. But in the end everyone is obligated to stay in their cells until further notice. The most dangerous inmates go into a separate part of the prison where they may not see more than an hour of daylight.

"Lockdown" is a prison term generally meaning confinement for the entire facility for all inmates in their cell, room, cubicle,or bunk. It is a means of control used by prison officials to maintain order when there are heightened security concerns.Lockdown to a parolee could mean essentially the same, only with the obvious difference being a parolee is not in the prison environment so would be required to stay within the confines of his residence, room, or perhaps a temporary stay at a local jail or other corrections facility.
