it's not prison, exactly, but being locked up... i was in a remand center when i learned this word, and these little moroccan and algerian dweebs used to say this word a lot, and yes, there is no P in arabic but the way they said it was very close to P for arabic (the voice was weak)

 imaginary lines are used to box you in as much as see the door, intent is everything (as is your mental state)

manipulators use these imaginary lines to cage you

 I get it as if that is what settlements are made of... An always give and take between the dweller and the world (this last taken as both the nature and the neighbors even if settled far apart).

What do we domesticate with the use of language? A common field of agreement between dwellers and the world, I guess...  
 The Hochdeutsch would be "Ich habe es nicht gestohlen."
