This is for the ones who know the code — and for everybody who has ever had their honey buns vanish from the locker.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "sneak thief" mean?
In prison, a sneak thief is an inmate who steals commissary, hygiene products, or belongings from another's cell or locker while the occupant is absent. It is one of the lowest-regarded moves in the prison code.
Is "sneak thief" an insult or a compliment?
An insult, flat out. Behind the wall it is an accusation that can start real problems — on a shirt, it is a warning label worn with a smirk.
What makes this a good gift?
It is for the one who lives for prison documentaries, street lore, and dictionary-style designs — the person who quotes the code like scripture.
Where can I wear this?
Casual wear, lounging, everyday outings — the definition does the entertaining wherever the conversation allows a laugh.
How should I style this?
Keep it casual — joggers or jeans and clean sneakers. The humor sits in the dictionary format, so let the print breathe.
