Brooks-Powers asks whether DOC received additional allegations of deadlocking or involuntary individualized lock-ins in 2025 or 2026. Chard says DOC will have to follow up after the hearing.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

Has the department received any additional allegations regarding deadlocking or involuntary individualized lock-ins in any housing unit in 2025 or 2026?

Chelsea Chard

We'd have to follow up with you on that.

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

While we're in the hearing, can someone just check and see if we can get that while we're here?

Chelsea Chard

We'll have to follow up and get that to you afterwards.

Chelsea Chard

I don't think that's something we'll be able to confirm right now.
