PUT AWAY

Yes, anonymous student, put away may be used to mean confine in jail.


e.g.

I hired a contractor to put new tiles in my kitchen. He took $500.00 and I never saw him again. He should be put away. Or, at least be driven out of business.

Dunno. It’s fine. Nbd. I’m all good. Just hanging out here in the hospital. 

Riles, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry. I hope they put away that bastard who hurt you.
