They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.
But that isn’t what happened. This was a DVR system. So someone who didn’t understand the new tech but was familiar with old school tapes came up with the lie. Or AI came up with the lie.
I was joking, but the fact that it’s questionably real that they are VHS tapes instead of digitally saved recordings is telling about or prison systems. Note, this is also a high end prison for the rich, haha
