at night, that same 2000 inmates is "controlled" by at most 50 cops . The teachers, cooks, factory supervisors, etc, have all gone home at 5 pm, folks. The total ratio of cops to inmates is 400 cops to 2000 inmates, if there's a fence, for a federal prison, but that's for 4 shifts. 168 hours in a week, folks. There's a lot of those "guards" who are teachers, etc, A LOT. Probably half of them. So it's 50 cops per 2000 inmates, (at best,)at night. Only the 2 gate guards and 2 guards in perimeter trucks have guns. No guns are allowed inside of the fences. All the other guns are outside, in a vault. So, if shtf, and the inmates get motivated to act together, all of them can be outside that fence in a few minutes.
The "secured' buildings are just hollow concrete block walls. The "secured " bunks are just bolted to the concrete floor. If 4 inmates rock a double bunk back and forth for a minute or so, the bolts break. Then they can use the bunk to break thru the block walls. In just a few minutes they are loose on the yard. Then they can break into the tool room, get the torches, and cut the chains on the forklift, using the latter to lift up a huge section of fence. The tool room also has wire cutters, believe it or not . Another thing, there are bleachers that any dozen men can lift free of their stakes, and carry over to the inside fence. With some mattresses and blankets thrown to the razor wire and between the fences, it's a simple matter to run up the bleachers and jump, then crawl over the outside fence. The 4 cops have at most a couple of AR's, and 9mm's with a spare mag. The 2 gate guards just have the pistols. From many angles, the outside truck patrol cannot fire into the inside yard. Once they are out of ammo, if it's shtf, those guards are just going home to their families, folks. Faced with hundreds of inmates pouring out of their barracks, at night, the guards might well just go home and save the ammo for their own needs, if it's shtf, giving no opposition AT ALL to the inmate's escaping.

They will have body armor and night vision goggles, too
