Prison guards also have "a show of force, pepper spray, cuffs, Battons, shields, hand to hand, tear gas.... oh and most importantly most of the prisoners are locked down at all times and when they want them out they cuff up before opening the cell or they get fucked up...."
There's a point to trying to be to realistic and I think that's what the op is trying to point out. This is a game.

I think all weapons should be holstered at all times.

Why unholster a weapon if you don't plan on using it?

I know we want to make the rounds balanced ie. make it easier to rebel as a prisoner, but enforcing this rule is just too hard. Not killing a prisoner for drawing their weapon will always give them the advantage eg. prisoner pulls out pistol and aims directly at the ground, guards not allowed to kill, prisoner then flicks crosshair up to ct and kills them instantly. Now in this scenario I dont believe that a guard would be able to react fast enough and will almost always get killed. Therefore, I believe that all weapons should be holstered at all times, but if a gun is passed to you then you should be given a warning to holster it right away or be killed.

edit: Lol were you guys even talking about this rule?

"#64: CT's must shoot to kill, wounding is not allowed."

Well it mainly falls under the favoritism rule, personally I think it's an appropriate rule to have.

I agree with Needy/Focus.

This is simple... If a prisoner doesn't follow orders he gets killed, not shot in the foot... that's not being nazi, that's simply playing jailbreak.
For Example:
Being Nazi is when you asked the t's to line up shoulder to shoulder and there's one t with a gap barely big enough to see and you kill him for it. That is being a Nazi.

well, on specific maps, being a nazi is the only way to keep the prisoners in check.

such maps are obvious as fuck
razor(all variants)
and carcarious

These two maps are heavily stacked against the guards.

Maybe not as much as being a nazi, but more of a dick.
