Prison slang for a rapist — a highly charged term within incarcerated communities, where sex offenders (especially those convicted of rape or child sexual abuse) occupy the lowest position in the informal prison hierarchy and are frequently targeted for violence. The word is direct and contemptuous, used without euphemism in carceral settings. Not a casual or everyday term outside those contexts.
The rapo was transferred to protective custody within a week of arriving on the block.
