It wouldn’t surprise me if this were a deliberate attempt to destabilize prisons. Like so many other places, even simple short-staffing can have a deleterious effect on operations - not even taking into account the crucial points you make about loss of expertise.
I wouldn't be suprised & have thought this myself. The officer I have spoken with just thinks the management is incompetent & doesn't believe there is anything deeper than that. Unfortunately they also don't want to get involved with politics or dig deeper because they believe things will never change. I am hoping they come around with more time.

The privatized prisons are the worse as they are profit driven. Cheapest they can get something.
