Paul wasn't being abusive to Lena. Lena was being abusive to Paul by reminding him of his former football career, forcing him to wear a ridiculous costume for a party that she was hosting and basically treating him like dirt. He locked her in the closet as a way of most likely getting away from her so he wouldn't have to put up with her for a while and he was already drunk when he took the car. He wasn't looking for attention. He was probably just looking to get away from Lena for a while.

If you're acting gay in prison, you are gay.
Prison guards and the Warden have pretty much complete power over the prisoners they oversee. So if the Warden mistreats his prisoners or allows his guards to; who are the prisoners going to complain to?
Point shaving in sports is deemed as intentionally foregoing points or intentionally giving the other team points. While never proven, Paul gets accused for playing poorly on purpose to negatively affect the score of the game. As we find out later in the movie, Paul got in financial debt (likely with loan sharks) and probably made a deal to fix the score of a game to avoid a debt. In the game vs. the guards, Paul does appear to intentionally throw an interception to shave more points to avoid life imprisonment due to the warden's threat. This is similar to what the 1919 Chicago White Sox did in the world series (losing/playing badly on purpose due to gambling implications). This match throwing scandal nearly destroyed major league baseball and as a result, professional sports have a zero tolerance for players purposely playing badly due to gambling implications. In real life, eight players on this team did get banned from baseball for losing on purpose and/or getting involved with gamblers.
