Indeed. And where there are prisoners, there are always guards {'avwI'}:
jav luHpu' 'avwI'
The guard has caused a prisoner to confess.
(slang: "The guard has 'yanked a six'.") KGT
'avwI'vaD jatlh qama'...
A prisoner says to the guard... PK
'avwI' nejDI' narghta'bogh qama' reH 'avwI' Sambej
When an escaped prisoner looks for a guard, he always finds one. TKW
Iron bars do not a prison make; guards do.
