La sombra

La sombra es una palabra coloquiál para la cárcel. Quiero saber si se usa la sombra para la cárcel en otros paises tambien.

Pasé varios años a la sombra (el alcochol y las mujeres tuvieron la culpa).

No sabía que le dieras al alcochol. Lo de las mujeres me lo imaginaba...

Sin alcohol, ¿cómo iba a soportar a las mujeres? ¿A que lo de haber estado en chirona me da clase?

Ni pizca, además no sabía yo que eras tan borde. Yo te imaginaba dulce y tierno.

Bueno, bueno, que no es para ponerse así, que el hilo va de temas carcelarios, ¿qué esperas? Aquí llevamos tatuajes en el pecho, algunas cicatrices y no nos distinguimos por nuestra delicadeza, sino que atacamos para defendernos.
Questo è come un ballo in máschera.
Se puede estar en chirona, en el trullo o a la sombra. Supongo que la gente de Meco tiene muchos más nombres para referirse a la cárcel...

Oh, this is good. Ni pizca,(does this mean I'm suprized?)
Tan borde-- that's "so borderline" or "So marginal"

Ay, Poli, qué perdidito andas.
Meco es una ciudad cercana a Madrid donde hay una de las cárceles más grandes de España.
I wouldn't know how to translate No es para ponerse así into English. Pls, wait for some help. I could try to explain it, but Iris will give you a better choice.
Que el hilo va de temas carcelarios means: The tread is about prison subjects.
¿Qué esperas? = ¿What do you expect?

Anyway, your interpretation is funnier than my post:

Bah, no merece la pena llegar a donde yo he llegado. Pero así es como acabamos los reclusos como yo...
