"Zek" is a Russian slang word for "prisoner" or "inmate", coming from заключённый (zakliuchyonnyi) which was usually abbreviated to "з/к" in Soviet paperwork, and pronounced as "зэка" ("zeh-KA"), usually in reference to a person who'd been imprisoned by the Soviet Union in the infamous gulag system for crimes against the state.
