I think we're supposed to think that Bates is not a criminal and doesn't fit in. He also threatened the cellmate not to mess with him. His cellmate is in cahoots with the guard, running a smuggling ring inside the prison. They see Bates as threat because of his honesty.
It's a weak story. Downton is about everything other than the plot.

He hates him just because he hates him. No reason. The contraband was a plug of tobacco. I don't know about the extra year.

I checked previous episodes and couldn't come up with a reason. What's weird to me is that a few episodes back, they were trying to frame him. Now all of a sudden, even the wardens are telling him to 'watch his back'. Don't get it. He just needs to be freed. End of that storyline.
