Are you trying to say that formal words in an informal setting sound odd? Or are you implying that such respect should not be accorded to people in such circumstances? If its the latter, I beg to differ from your point. References accorded to any individual by another is a matter of taste and ultimately respect out of the said person's association with the human species. Addressing prisoners by Mr., is very fine and is a reflection of a basic respect. I am not really sure of your implication here.
