From what I've seen, this would be an adequate use of space. Certainly, a more beneficial one.
I shall opt for brevity in explaining our system of laws, but essentially, there exists the Conclave and Admiralty: Civilian and military branch of authority, respectively. The latter of which I serve upon. The Conclave is composed of representatives from each ship. The Admiralty is typically composed of five Admirals - we can over-rule the Conclave, but must resign our posts if doing so.
Upon each ship, an elected council decides matters. Captains usually defer to them.
I suggest a suitable analogy: Decks of our vessel being much the same as ships within the Migrant Fleet. I do not ask that we must collectively be crushed under red tape, but an elected representative for each deck could serve as a voice of a council for any transgressions which affect the ship, as a whole, where your 'wardening' brethren are concerned or we 'inmates' who are yet to be allocated a representative.
The key advantage with this is that most matters can be resolved on a deck-by-deck basis, not requiring ship-wide discussion except for the most extreme of cases.
I fear this may sound more complicated than it is to operate in practice... But from what I can see, the only attempted solutions have been of a centralised, time-consuming nature. What the ship needs is an agreed method whereby authority can be delegated.
Imagine the difference between an over-taxed CPU and a machine with several processors in key operating nodes. Processing power is distributed and the system operates more efficiently as a result.
