It refers to someone going mad because she doesn't receive the answer she's been waiting for. So she decides to "jack the slot". Any ideas?
Thank you! :)

forzar o hackear la máquina
también se escribe jaquear, pero parece que con poco éxito
creo que se trata de eso, metiendo el brazo o algo así para sacar la comida de la maquina expendedora o dispensador de comida
no sé si hay una expresión equivalente, pero creo que es mejor usar vocabulario que se comprenda en cualquier país

"It makes me depressed. It doesn't make sense to me, for putting my arms through the food slot, I was subjected to all that."
According to trial testimony, jailers at the Estelle Unit confiscated Ortiz's clothes and property to punish him for starting a fire in his cell. Ortiz claims in his lawsuit that guards also denied him food and medical attention for several days and when they ignored his request to talk to a supervisor he resorted to putting his arms through the food slot, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz called "jacking the slot." zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

there is no reference to any violent assaults. Cantoral filed a grievance about this incident, but the Office of the Inspector General declined to open an investigative report.
This practice is known as "jacking" the food slot.
In December of 2004, Cantoral said, he was having problems with the inmate next door to him. He was moved to another cell around December 31, 2004, but this cell had bloodstains all over the walls. He refused to give up the handcuffs, but eventually did so; Officer Atchison closed the food slot and asked Cantoral "why did you jack it?" Cantoral replied that he had not done so, but he was given a disciplinary case and left in the bloodstained cell for 30 days without cleaning materials.
Cantoral's medical records contain no entries for the month of January, 2005. He testified that he did not file any grievances concerning his placement in a bloodstained cell.
The third incident occurred in June of 2005. Cantoral requested leave at the Spears hearing to amend his complaint to include this claim. He said that the officers were not feeding him so he "jacked the food slot." Cantoral acknowledged that "jacking the slot" is a violation of the rules but said that it is the only way to get a supervisor to come talk to him. He stated that Lt. Burnett threatened to break his arm, and then several officers used force on him. Cantoral said that he filed a Step One grievance on this incident but it was never returned, so he could not file a Step Two; he explained that he submitted this grievance directly to the warden's office rather than sending it through the unit grievance coordinator.

Note from asker:
| I think it does refer to the same situation. Still not completely sure what it means in Spanish, though. |

She is in prison, and she started "jacking the slot" during lunchtime, in an attempt to receive the attention she needs.
