What is causing a federal camp to be on restriction?
When I call the Fort Dix main # 609-723-1100 and press option #2 and then #1 for current visitation it states that unit 5851 and the camp are on restriction. What is causing a federal camp to be on restriction? And does restriction mean no visitors at all?

Something must have occurred that has suspended visitation.

Something must have occurred that has suspended visitation. It could be that they had a shakedown and found cellphones, alcohol, cash, cigarettes, drugs or steroids - these are the most prevalent contraband confiscated during surprise inspections. Group punishment is the penalty normally imposed if they cannot isolate the people responsible.
