You're still left with the inconvenience of sin as a transgression against the prison governor. Remove the governor, remove the basis for sin. He's the one with the problem against what the inmates get up to. It's like the old joke about the guy complaining about all the hardcore porn that comes through his door; when his neighbour says that he's never had that problem, the guy says, "Yes, but you don't subscribe."
Yes, a prisoner can argue that he's only in prison because there were laws to be broken, and without the law, there would be no basis for prison. He's not going very far with that argument.
