How to use "Lockdown" in context?
Modern, high-security prisons are typically locked down at night to prevent prisoners from escaping. This lockdown can involve locking all doors and windows, turning off lights, and deploying security personnel throughout the prison.
The rationale for lockdown is that prisoners who are not confined by physical prison walls are more likely to commit crimes. Furthermore, if the prison is not locked down, prisoners may be able to gain access to weapons and drugs that are located outside of the prison.
Lockdown can be a costly and time-consuming process.
