The Boat 

Riker's Island, a New York City jail that is, conveniently, also an island in the Long Island Sound, is home to 14,000 inmates. Because the jail conditions are over-crowded and inmates are harshly treated by the Corrections Officers, many convicts who have been sent there liken it to a slave boat, once popular during the New World's robust slave trade.

Convict 1: Yo putting me here for sleepin on the subway is bullshit. My PO will be pissed when he hears I been busted.
Convict 2: I here for K2 possession - fuck that! K2 ain't illegal!
Convict 1: I ain't going back to The Boat for this! I was just sleepin.

The boat 

Commonly a casino located in midwestern cities. Initially upon legalization, casinos were limited to riverboats. However, developers began building casinos right next to a riverfront, skirting any laws prohibiting them from doing business outside of a riverboat. The term boat just stuck with all the patrons and now its used fairly common.
