I can’t see how the number, even after factoring all those, would be any more than 1 guard per 3 prisoners.

Which is still an incredibly high staffing ratio.

I work in the industry. It's an insanely high staffing count. Even at the most secure facilities (e.g. Pelican Bay in California).

We are seeing the triumph of the unions here.
