Call it Solitary Cryptanalysis, as thats what you will get before hand as
they "sweat" it out of you ;) and where you will want to be when doing your
2-5 Stretch (rather than sharing a cell with "BIG Marv[he's deaf but very
BIG]" or "Fingers McMadbastard"), and all that time in solitary gives you
time to contemplate your woes, or dream up a better scheme for when you get
out.

On the other hand you could call it Pants and have Pantyhose cryptanalysis
(sigh...... the level this man will stoop to.... I don't know, would never
have happened like that in my day........................).
