Tree jumper is prison slang for a sex offender — specifically the kind who commits offenses outdoors or ambushes victims. In prison culture, sex offenders occupy the lowest rung of the informal hierarchy and face severe social consequences from other inmates. Terms like tree jumper are part of a broader vocabulary of dehumanizing insults used in that environment. It's not a neutral descriptor — it's a contemptuous label. Worth knowing if you're reading crime fiction, watching prison dramas, or researching carceral culture.
