Christine Christie Is this sentence correct: This "lockdown" is a new word. It used to be confined to prisons, where if there was a disturbance, all the prisoners had to go into their cells and be locked in. It was extended to schools, where if there was the threat of a shooting rampage, the teachers would lock the classroom doors to impede the criminal.
