A lockdown is a prison protocol that usually prevents people,
information or cargo from leaving an area. The protocol can
usually only be initiated by someone in a position of authority. A
lockdown can also be used to protect people inside a facility or,
for example, a computing system, from a threat or other
external event. Of buildings, a drill lockdown usually means that
doors leading outside are locked such that no person may enter
or exit. A full lockdown usually means that people must stay
where they are and may not enter or exit a building or rooms
within said building. If people are in a hallway, they should go to
the nearest safe, enclosed room.
