So let's assume for one moment that the premise was sound and not riddled with holes like swiss cheese:

 

If prisoner B can't (or doesn't want to)  afford to pay the 2 cigarette fee for using the toilet he's forced to defecate somewhere in their cell.

 

This of course will lead to heavy odor pollution of the cell and prisoner A suddenly has an incentive to let prisoner B use the toilet for free unless he enjoys spending his day in a smelly cell and risk diseases.

 

Problem solved by the underlying principles of the free market.

 

Your reasoning is flawed, because it presumes prisoner A is of the same culture as prisoner B, and finds faeces everywhere abhorrent. Prisoner A may well not care, and enjoy using "his" toilet purely as a power trip over prisoner B.

 

You're also presuming that prisoner A's primitive accumulation of the toilet is moral, and are just scrounging for reasons why he would let prisoner B use it.

There's a solution for that: As a feces-ridden cell is a hazard to health Prisoner B can always opt for the self defense route. More so as Prisoner's A "accumulation of the toilet" is immoral, as you suggest.
