“And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.”
So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. The promotion within the prison mirrors the promotion within Potiphar's house — everything in charge, responsibility for all. The application: the pattern of elevation is consistent across Joseph's circumstances: the LORD is with him, the superior notices, the superior gives over all responsibility.
