Convert to category?[edit]

This should probably be a category, Category:Prison slang. There's also an appendix on Wiktionary but needs expansion, wikt:Appendix:U.S. prison slang. -- œ ^™ 19:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm … [edit]

Just as a thought?

Is it worth splitting this into British, and American English, prison slang lists?

They can be different, I’m told.

Bootful.[edit]

Long story, here: but I’m aware — very aware — that the term, “bootful” is in use in UK prisons: at least, in south east England, at the turn of the century.

It basically meant having a dose of injected/smoked heroin.

Is it worth looking it up, and adding it to the list?
