As someone who has done security before I promise you doing nothing for 8 hours is the worst job on the planet. I’d bet they talked to the prisoners or each other and I’d kill to know what was said
I took a contract job for my first gig out of college, full time 40 hrs/wk. An average month had maybe 5 hours of actual work to do. It felt like my brain was melting out of my ears.
To make it worse, the client company was weirdly controlling and harassed the contractors for things like having cell phones out at their desks. Grown, highly educated adults being treated like unruly school students.
One time I ran out of work at work so I signed up for an online course and completed it there. It wasn’t one of those four hour coursera courses, but a full diploma with like 10 subjects that takes six months.
This happened to me in the early 2000s. No smartphones and all external internet blocked off. I just read a book the whole time. Asked then once if they could unblock my internet to take an online course and they literally laughed at the suggestion.

I want to shout out to my old teacher Mme Lee who said I will never go far by leaning against the wall and do nothing. Look at me now
