Jura Call

Also may be Hooda Call. Verb Spanish

To alert others of the presence of Law-Enforcement (police or correctional officers).

Striker

Noun - prison term

Refers to a pencil modified in a way to light fires using AC electrical power in a prison cell.

In prisons that have out-lawed smoking, matches are not allowed.

Inmates will generally use a paper-clip bending one sharp end out to poke it through the eraser of a sharp pencil. The other end is pushed into an electrical outlet. A wire from headphones or even rolled aluminum foil is pushed in the other hole in the outlet. When the wire is "struck" up against the sharp graphite carbon of the pencil it produces a "carbon-arc" capable of lighting toilet paper or other combustibles found in a prison cell.

A striker is considered contraband in the prison systems.
Hey, loan me your striker, I wanna smoke a pinner.

You can make tatt-ink with the soot from burning aftershave if you light it with a striker and place it under a paper bag.

Stinger

Prison Term

Device used to heat water.

Since hot water can be used as a weapon it is not allowed in many prison settings. Some prisons may have hot water in the day-room but it is not allowed in the cells.

Inmates will connect two wires from any source, TV plugs headphones or even handmade wire from aluminum foil to any 2 separated metal objects, usually metal-plates. By connecting the two wires to the outlet and dropping the stinger in the water the AC current will pass through the water heating it up. It is possible to boil water and with some practice inmates can even make candy with ingredients smuggled out of the culinary.

Sometimes a poorly made stinger will trip the circuit breaker for an entire tier or block causing discontent for both inmates as well as correctional officers.

Stingers are considered contraband in the prison system.
I was gonna make the Top Ramon Noodles I got from commissary but the cop confiscated my stinger.
