No doubt. They're clearly underwater in this, and unfortunately (for all involved, except some strange folks behind the curtain) It's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm sorry you were in there during a time when the sheriff and deputies have clearly lost control and good judgment.

I was briefly in there at the start of COVID and remember the ACLU organizing protests to let more people out who were just waiting for trial. I can't imagine it could have possibly gotten better since then. The comments from the auditor about the confidence in staffing from people incarcerated that they interviewed were just laughable.

Yea, it hasn’t gotten any better. They are super understaffed. And, while some of the guards are good people, there are others who have the same mindset and behaviors as the inmates, they just haven’t ever gotten in trouble. And they can’t afford to get rid of any of the shitty guards because of the staffing problem.
