Yardie is a term stemming from the slang name given to occupants of government yards in Trenchtown, a neighborhood in West Kingston, Jamaica. Trenchtown was originally built as a housing project following devastation caused by Hurricane Charlie. Each development was built around a central courtyard with communal cooking facilities. Due to the poverty endemic in the neighbourhood, crime and gang violence became rife, leading the occupants of Trenchtown to be in part stigmatized by the term "Yardie".

Jamaicans Call their houses Yards! and they run their crime syndicates from home, they also refer to prisons as Government Yards, the most famous being in Trenchtown (Jamaica) where most political prisoners were housed.
I hope this helps.
