I've seen enough prison fiction to know that the ones that subscribe to the whole "Start a fight on the first day or be somebody's bitch" philosophy of things aren't going about it the right way. It's all about making allies and bribing guards to overlook things. You control the joint through subtle actions and charisma, not by punching everyone.

Selwyn stole her food!!! 

Also, Sloan has a close relationship with the Warden, probably why she doesn't bother with anyone or try bribing people.
