- 1監獄（俚語；台灣口語較常說「進去關」「坐牢」）
The slammer is prison. People say it with a hard, informal edge: he is in the slammer; they threw him in the slammer. It is slang, not the word a lawyer would write on a form. The picture behind it is a heavy door slamming shut. You almost always hear it with the: the slammer, not a slammer, when it means prison. Though actually the same spelling can mean other things in other rooms — a person who slams doors, or, in some places, a kind of strong drink — but the sense you need here is jail. It sounds a bit like crime films and tough talk, more than like a news report. Students can understand it; they should not use it in careful school writing.
組成slam (to shut hard; also to put someone in jail) + -er (makes a noun: the place).
