It means that if a prisoner takes a hostage, he will not be allowed to use the hostage to leave the prison. Prison security will use force, deadly if necessary, to rescue the hostage.

As pointed out, California's "No Hostage" policy is a risk an employee accepts if they accept employment with CDCR. There should be no expectation that an employee will be "rescued" through negotiation or meeting an inmate's demands.
