The typical hall of justice is chockablock with weaponry. Court officers, court clerks, parole and probation officers - not to mention police officers - all carry handguns for the ostensible purpose of maintaining order and security. This stands in stark contrast to our prisons. While corrections officers may carry weapons in public, in nearly every jail and prison across the country those guns get checked at the door.
One of the elemental rules of a prison is that any weapon will eventually be turned against its owner. That sane and simple logic dictates that firearms are restricted to the guards in the towers and on the perimeter. With no guns to take away, the net result of overpowering a guard is just that - having overpowered a guard. Nobody is going to shoot his way to freedom.
