California corrections officials say high-security prisons across the state are tightly restricting movement, calls and visits while they probe a surge in violence this year
California prisons are restricting movement, calls, and visits in high-security sections due to a surge in violence, including 32 homicides last year. The restrictions affect nearly a dozen lockups and include controlled movement, meal delivery to housing units, and limited communication. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is conducting a comprehensive investigation into the causes of the violence.
