hang-up

[George Thompson]

>From an article in the NY Times of February 28, 2005, on suicide among
the prisoners on Riker's Island:
Suicides -- "hang-ups" in the cold vernacular of the cell block -- have
always been a jailhouse reality.

The article began on p. 1 or the A section, and the continuation filled
two pages of the Metro (B) section.  The quotation is from page B6,
col. 1
