Pull the pin

Hi,

Tell me please what does HE PULLS THE PIN ON HIS FELLOW MAN mean?

The full phrase:

"There are inmates...
and there are convicts.
A convict has a certain code.
And he knows to show
a certain respect.
An inmate, on the other hand,
pulls the pin on his fellow man.
Does the guards'work for them.
Brings shame...
To the game."

Will you better explain to me all this phrase?

I'd be very grateful.
