If those books are security threats then every last warden needs to be fired. Because then an IT professional in jail is either uncageable or capable of controlling every gang.

This isn't the kind of job that is going to attract the best and brightest, especially since it's likely viewed as a cost center and will be about as thankless as can be.
It was a lot of fun actually. I would look at the screws holding things together, the locks, the hinges, the computer systems, etc. I would challenge myself to McGuyver an escape plan if somehow all the guards left and escape was my only option. I dont think there were any rooms, or areas that I could not have gotten out of.
It gave me an interesting perspective on security. It changed my understanding of the role of a guard. A jail doesn't have to be escape proof, it just has to make escape slow or noisy enough that the guards can intervene.
Without watching eyes, anyone determined enough will find ways to circumvent static security measures.
Prisons aren't about finding solutions that are just or humane. They're for punishing the people in them. Rehabilitation isn't punishment, so prisons don't do it.
If you rehabilitate you get horrible cases like Norway where the total prison population is a measly 75 per 100,000 residents and the system is tiny. So many "bad guys" on the streets earning an honest wage. It's completely unacceptable to US legislatures. Where's the vengeance? Where's the humiliation? Where are the kickbacks from the numerous industries that exploit the literally captive audience? Totally unacceptable.
