I spent about half my time in state prisons when I was the Florida state electrical inspector. This looks pretty normal to me.
Most of the "electricians" were really inmates anyway. I am not sure there was ever anyone who specialized in being an electrician. The state employees were mostly more on the "management" side of the work. They were just maintenance department employees. All that said some of the best work I ever saw was at Desoto Correctional from Ken Collingsworth and his <incarerated> drug dealers.
That wasn't as bad as the park system where they had rangers who saw enough Bob Vila to think they were electricians.
I always encouraged people to call me if they had a question about anything they were doing.
At a certain point I wasn't an inspector, as much as a consultant. Great gig tho and the money wasn't bad.
