I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
I am unsure what you want. I don't see a question here. I am GUESSING that you want me to supply information on the "old" system versus the "new" system. Since I have now been out for more than 12 years I don't think I will be able to supply much help. Sorry.

When I was there it was five years. Now there is a separate step for the academy as well, which is 14 weeks.

For starters you should NEVER be in that position in the first place. Assuming it did happen, you go with the bird in the hand and keep custody of the prisoner you have. You might be justified in shooting at the fleeing prisoner, but you would not deliberately loose the one you still have to maybe catch the one who is running.

My opinion, for what that may be worth is, generally speaking, no.

With all due respect that may be the most poorly constructed question I have ever read in my life. A little punctuation would be nice too. I THINK you are asking in prisoners are issued tablets (i.e. ipads) as part of the "correctional experience" or as some part of a training program. I am unaware of any jurisdiction that does so.
Share Answer: 
Yes I have. Since it is no longer permissible to thump such a person in the parking lot after work you are advised to avoid working with such a person and avoid screwing up when they are around, which is good advice in general. Usually such people become well known quickly and become very unpopular very quickly. People avoid them like the plague and let others know about them. Sometimes that serves to change their habits. Sometimes not, especially if they have friends or relatives in high places. There are jerks in any workplace and you have to learn how to deal with or avoid them.

It depends where. Some jurisdictions use a very bootcamp-like training operation. Some a very classroom oriented with a minimal physical component and necessary chemical agents and firearms training.
