Definitions

American prison contraction of 'child molester' — the lowest rung in the prison hierarchy. Getting marked a chomo means PC (protective custody) or you're not making it through the yard. The term has crossed over into wider internet usage as a generic insult, which inmates and prison-reform folks both find grim.
“He's doing his time on the chomo wing because gen pop would kill him.”
