Like all prisons Guards do exists and will become more of a problem the further players advance; guards will become suspicious of you when you do not follow the expected time table, search your cell and your person for banned goods and items and will attack you if they see you trying to escape or doing certain things such as digging out a wall. However you can beat up a Guard and steal the uniform to blend in with the guards as you make an escape.
The Escapists was released on PC and Xbox One in February this year and a Playstation 4 release date has not yet been announced but the game is confirmed to be coming to the PS4 in the near future.
