There is no such thing as 'prison language' however there are terms that prisoners use and outsiders don't ie/ a 'shiv' is a home made knife, guards and police are usually called 'pigs'
They do this as they have their 'own' world in there, I suppose..

there is no prison language,but a good majority of inmates are illiterate,or at least very underschooled and use slang and words picked up in everyday life.
as for those of you who like to criticize and poke fun at these people-be careful.....i could be your neighbor....
