Can someone give me slang words for "jail" and "convict"? / myLot

I prefer British English if possible, but it would be interesting to know American English ones. I am looking for things like "crook", very colloquial ones. Thanks in advance.

Jail: hole, slammer, stir, lockup, pen, cooler, corrections house, clink, brig, joint Convict: felon, con, jailbird, prisoner, crook, hustler, hood, yardbird, gangster I'm sure there must be a slew more, but that's all I can think of right off.
