I worked in a high security facility between 99 and 07, back then the only people that didn’t have access to razors in their cells were “ad seg” (ie solitary with a view) and like another poster said they were given razors only under direct supervision. Typically they would be escorted to a “shower cell” and given a fresh disposable razor which was returned and inspected before the inmate left the shower.

Related story; I remember there was a CO that got put on suspension when SPM (Carlos Coy aka south park mexican, convicted of molesting a 9 year old girl in 2002) came through because the officer told him the best way to kill himself was to go down the arm rather than across when he escorted SPM to a shower. IIRC the guy was eventually fired but rehired a year later thanks to the union.
