Convict Definitions 101 - Part 2

For those of you have been, or will be, reading my blogs here on Tripper’s “Tales From The Cells” ……

Continued from Convict Definitions 101 Part 1…

Please find listed below a few definitions of prison terms and phrases you’ll need to know in order to better understand convict lingo and be penitentiary literate. Be advised some of these definitions apply only to United States Federal Prisons whereas others are universal in state institutions as well. This blog is meant to be both education­al and amusing, but does have graphic content. I hope you’ll enjoy and let me know if you want to continue Convict Defintions 101.

-Tripper

UP TOP: To be ran “up top” means an inmate or group of inmates were forced to seek protective custody in the SHU (the hole) by another group of inmates. In December of ‘07, at this federal institution, all child molesters were severely beaten and ran “up top” by the majority of the inmate population.

CENSUS COUNT: In federal prison, by policy, institution staff is required to do 2 census counts every month and report the results to Central Office Staff in Washingto D.C. This is to ensure that all inmates are where they’re supposed to be and no one has escaped. Census count is in addition to regular hourly and daily counts.

HOOCH: Hooch is simply homemade prison alcohol. It can vary from homemade beer, to wine, to actual distilled liquor. Personally, I’ve never drank any hooch. Nor have I smoked marijuana in prison, had sex with a female prison guard or broken any rules of the institution for that matter. Yeah, right!

THE WALLS: Some prisons that have high walls are called “the walls.” United States Leavenworth Prison is a walls joint. So is Jefferson City in Missouri.

BOOTY BANDIT: A booty bandit is a homosexual inmate predator that rapes young boys by force. “Dude’s a booty bandit! Better tell your weak ass homeboy to watch himself. He may come for him!”

CHECK-IN: A check-in is an inmate who turns himself in for protective custody. Usually a baby raper, snitch, or someone who owes a debt for tobacco, gambling, or store.

PUNK: This is a prison homosexual. Not a punk as in free world lingo. A punk sucks dick, takes it up the ass, and is property of his daddy. Personally, I don’t like punks and don’t condone the actions of them or their daddies.

BUSH PASS: I first heard this term from a female convict from Tennessee. This means to escape from a work crew or trustee assignment. “Hey man, where did Smitty go? Did the mf’er take a bush pass or what?” Convicts looking all around as a friend runs for the bushes or nearby trees.

R&D: This is the area of the institution where inmates are received and dis­charged.

Come-Fuck-Me’s: In the state system, inmates always wear boxer shorts. Briefs are known to all as “Come-Fuck-Me’s”. Just ask any weak individual who has been forcibly raped in the Arkansas, Mississippi or Louisiana Departments of Corruption.

Cadillac: In most systems, a Cadillac is a name brand cigarette such as a Lucky Strike, Marlboro or Pall Mall. Not a generic cigarette or roll-up. In the fed system, a Cadillac can also mean a dustpan. The kind with a handle on it. Inmates walk the compound with their brooms and Cadillacs picking up small pieces of paper and trash.

Catch a Hat: This phrase simply means to “leave.” “Catch a hat mf’er. I’m tired of looking at your sorry ass!”

A Line: A line is basically a fishing line used in the SHU or hole. An inmate will tear the string from a sheet, elastic from boxer shorts, or whatever material he can find and make a long string. Then, an object such as a pocket comb or a dead battery (AAA) is tied to the end of the string making it easier to toss under the cell door to and from other cells across and down the hall. You’d be amazed at the skill level of some of these convicts shooting lines.

G.F.T.: In the Arkansas state system, if an inmate has G.F.I, stamped on their file, it means he is “good for information.” Again, snitch, rat or stool pigeon….

And the REQUESTED term for this Convict Definitions is…

Fe-Fe Bag: Someone asked about this. This is something a convict rigs up to “fuck”. Usually a rubber glove finger wrapped tightly inside a towel held together by rubber bands or strings. Something “tight” an inmate can squeeze a little lotion in and fuck as if it were a woman’s vagina. Personally, I’ve never used a fe-fe bag although I have seen one taken by an officer during an institution shakedown. Beats fucking a punk I guess. Although I prefer Rosy Palmer and her four sisters myself.

Tripper’s Rep speaking here…

I spoke with Tripper on the phone this evening. He was in much better spirits, ready to get the stint taken out and proceed back to normal with life. They have to take him back out to an outside hospital one more time, sometime within the next week. They never disclose the appointment time or date. He is in less pain everyday and I think is just more annoyed now with the discomfort. He wanted to thank you all for your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers, and to let you know he has personal messages in the mail, and a blog about this entire ordeal. He ended with a Happy Thanksgiving to all and of course Tripper’s catch phrase, BETTER DAYS!!

Also, please be watching, I am going to post a blog about a holiday card/gift bash for Tripper. I will post that the day after Thanksgiving in order to give everyone enough time to participate should you want to. (And I sure hope you do, if we pull together, it makes such a big difference!!) There will also be information in that blog about a calendar that is in the making, and a couple of sexy ladies have some great ideas, but again, we need input from you. So stay tuned!!
