Definitions
1
Protective custody. A separate housing unit for inmates who'd get hurt or killed in general population — snitches, ex-cops, high-profile sex offenders, gang dropouts. Safer in the strict sense, but going PC tanks your reputation everywhere else; on a lot of yards, having been on PC means you can't come back to mainline.
“After his testimony hit the news he had no choice but to request P.C.”
