Hi. I have seen this word in relation to Greek prisons and criminality but can't find any translation anywhere. Does anyone know the meaning and origin?
There is a well-known 1962 movie titled Ο βαρυποινίτης του Αλκατράζ in Greek (Birdman of Alcatraz)Ηi, it's βαρυποινίτης, the long-termer, the person convicted to serve a long sentence = βαρύς + ποινή (=sentence)
Many thanks.Ηi, it's βαρυποινίτης, the long-termer, the person convicted to serve a long sentence = βαρύς + ποινή (=sentence)
