Vocabulary
Extracurricular, deputy
Dear forum teachers,
I have a two questions from Prison Break, and I hope you could have a look for me, thanks you very much!
(The Correctional Officers are doing a shakedown in the cell block)
Captain Bellick: Open it. So... tooling up for the race riot, are we? Hand it over. Now, which side are you on anyhow, Fish?
Michael: That would be neither, boss.
Captain Bellick: Maybe you're going to go extracurricular with it then. Stick a C.O. maybe.
Q1: What does "extracurricular" mean here? Is Captain Bellick saying "Maybe you're going to take it with you when you are in the yard" ??
Warden Pope: Is there a problem here, Deputy?
Q2: How should interpret "deputy" in this context. In the Merriam Webster dictionary, there's two definitions which I think are both suitable for this case - 1) a person appointed as a substitute with power to act. 2) a second in command or assistant who usually takes charge when his or her superior is absent

Captain Bellick: Got a shank in here.
Warden Pope: Is this yours? You're not a good liar. Come on, Sucre, you're going to the SHU. Move along, Deputy.

Re "deputy," if a cop were addressing another cop, not by name, he'd say, eg., "Thank you, officer."
In many jurisdictions, the prisons are policed by the Sheriff's Dept. In Los Angeles County, for example, we have one sheriff and maybe a thousand deputy sheriffs. They call address each other as "deputy." (The state prisons, on the other hand, are managed by the Dept. of Corrections,
