Not only has it helped them prosecute offenses faster because there is a video record, it has also cleaned up the behavior of the officers. The officers know they are being recorded and they cannot alter the recordings or turn off the recorder, so they act more civily.

Since only correctional officers had keys to get into solitary where the inmate was murdered, the simpler explanation is a guard conspiracy as opposed to the alternative which is that the inmates somehow managed to get ahold of the keys.
