American slang for jail or prison, playing on the image of metal crossbars on cell doors and windows — the defining visual of incarceration dressed up in satirical hotel language. The phrase is part of a long tradition of darkly humorous jail nicknames that treat forced confinement as if it were a hospitality venue, including the graybar hotel and the big house.
