There are a lot of things that happen in jails. I've been told by a former inmate they could get drugs more easily in jail than out. Epstein. Shankings and assaults. On and on.
Why shouldn't jails have cameras recording every square inch? That would presumably allow identifying any sources of drugs, what happened in an assault, and so on.
I can't think of a reason. The one somewhat delicate issue is 'privacy', which might sound silly for a jail, but ok, inmates use the toilet, they do private things. Two options for this, one is to limit review of tapes of private areas unless there is a specific need to investigate, another is jut to say they don't have a right to privacy.
It would also help with the terrible problem of prisoner rape. It would also help with any staff wrongdoing, protecting prisoners. I don't see why this should not be done in every jail.

Off the top of my head. The main limiting factor for doing as such, would be the budget.
Most facilities don't operate efficiently enough to do as such and when prisoners start destroying cameras. It makes things harder to maintain, not to mention the problem of having them installed in the first place.
Having them would be nice, but getting them in the first place. Is what turns out to be the largest of the issues.

Cameras are cheap. They can put cameras everywhere and should. They do pinhole cameras that the inmates would be hard pressed to find. More cameras and more sound would make things safer by far.
My facility currently has 16 separate cameras, per floor. They monitor all blind intesections and the entrances to several restricted, or high traffic doors.
We've been asking for another five to cover the rest of the floor, but we keep getting citations on cost. Not to mention the hassle that getting the last six installed caused.
When it comes to camera coverage everywhere, you may actually start to see advocacy groups get into the conversation as well.
In a jail or prison everything should be monitored and recorded period. We have the technology to do this. It needs to be done. A prison is supposedly the most controlled space in America.
I have more than that number of cameras on my boat. 6 just in the engine room and I have 10 on my commercial truck. A typical mini drone I build has three wide band ccd arrays each with over 60 mega pixels in resolution. The typical array is made by stitching 3 commercial Sony 20 mp ccd chips together. That gives over 180 mp in coverage. With a small drone.
Why shouldn't jails have 100% camera coverage?

"prison justice" should not be a thing. we incarcerate more people than almost anyone else. you are one false accusation or botched investigation away from being in prison. i support putting cameras everywhere in prisons and holding the wardens accountable for all violent and sexual assaults. i also support ending the private prison system.
we incarcerate more people than almost anyone else
And who makes up the greatest % of that?
i'm not sure. first, you'll have to tell me in which direction you're trying to deflect the discussion. however, i stand by my argument.
No, no "deflection" at all
Just filling in what you left out
ah, is that what you told yourself. well, enjoy!
Nah... it's what your types don't want the hear(LOL)
Because someone would have to sit on their ass and review them(LOL)
Do you want a camera on an inmate talking a dump?(LOL)

Good, now you just need to install them without inmates being the wiser, keep them monitored, update any system you're using for them to be monitored and working with the whole mess that such a decision brings.
I would like it if we could have all prisons monitored like that. But the main problem is that we most likely can't do that, or at least not too the extent that you are suggesting.
We build and modify prisons all the time. This isnt about ability its about policy. It gores someones ox somewhere.
