As a corrections officer: It depends on the institution, of course, but where I work we wouldn't even need someone to report to us as we film everything, we're watching most cameras most of the time, and we have officers in every block.

On the one in a billion chance someone did something violent we didn't see, we would have people tell us within seconds, a minute at the absolute most. Inmates are people too, brah, they usually aren't going to just let someone die and sit back and do nothing. At least in my experience.

As for charging them: absolutely. We would begin with discipline by putting them in segregation/isolation (probably for the rest of their stay with us), write detailed reports, pictures, interviews, videos, take evidence, and send that all to the State's Attorney. Depending on the severity of what happened, we could involve detectives as well.

If we saw someone attacking someone, about 5 of us would run in and put a stop to it. If we saw them using a deadly weapon on someone, we would beat their ass in the process. Professionally.

But again, that depends on the institution. A Supermax prison is different from a Jail which is different from a Juvenile facility and each individual Jail is different from every other jail. And so on.
