Their training isn't over yet, and their abilities in many aspects are inadequate.
If they really encountered the escapees...
Honestly speaking, aside from Flossie Wright, Rowdy Brightwill, and their team, the others lack real-world experience. If they face the escapees, it's probably just a matter of how they will die.
Sometimes, even if you have the skills, if you've never killed before, then you've never killed before. Encountering a real opponent is real combat, where you'll face real knives and real blood.
Ordinary people, if not mentally prepared enough, definitely can't be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
In other words, they can't go for the kill.

No choice, after all, with so many trainees, losing even one would be catastrophic.
If things get out of hand...
That's no joke.
