Answer:

Inmate balance theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The inmate balance theory suggests that in order for a prison system to operate effectively, officials must tolerate minor infractions, relax security measures, and allow inmate leaders to keep order.

However, correctional officers grant and deny privileges for regulation.

This is exactly what Jesse is establishing, for peaceful coexistence of inmates in the prison.
