Tristan really should bring up his concerns with the governor. It was his duty to report it if he believed any inmate to be in danger and if the conditions in the prison were anything like the young man had described, many inmates were in danger. He just needed to make sure that he confined himself to his own observations so that he didn't put young Mr. Longbottom at risk of further abuse for talking.

"I'll speak with the governor and make sure you get all you need to keep clean," he promised.

Then he washed his hands again and straightened the young man's nose as quickly and precisely as he could, after which he dressed it. "There is lots of good in humanity," he encouraged. "Perhaps you were just unfortunate enough to grow up in a place where you saw little of it. But once your out, you can find better company."
