Copping the wire

Prison slang for stealing another inmate’s items off their fishing line (the string they use to send exchange items between cells).

Sometimes when the line is sent to the gallery, another inmate snatches it for themselves.

I tried sending Bill some coffee on a line, but he never got it because someone has been copping the wire.
