I would agree with you, save for the fact that the other wardens aren't operating at the same standard as you are. Most of them are selfish, pretty and cruel. The right thing isn't relevant to what they do.

It's mainly these issues of power relations that are concerning. We'll ignore the issue of warden and inmate relationships, which is clearly an abuse of power whenever it occurs. Provided we follow the assumption that a warden's primary duty is to their inmate, which our one-on-one situation does suggest, the moment that you start a relationship with another warden and value someone equally to your inmate you're failing your duty as a warden.

It is simply to the real world, I'll agree with that. But it's more extreme and it affects others more than any wardens care to admit.
