a tiny prison that doubles as a launchpad for tiny anarchists
means A small bed with high sides for a baby — and, in slang, the place where you live.
from From Old English 'cribb,' a manger or stall for cattle — the feeding trough animals ate from, which is why the Nativity 'crib' holds the infant Jesus where the oxen fed. The word drifted through senses of 'small enclosed space' to the baby's bed and, by the 19th century, to thieves' cant for a house or dwelling — the source of both 'cribbing' (stealing, copying) and the modern boast about one's 'crib.'
