"Well, you got the Builders, the Sloppers, Baggers, Cooks, Map-makers, Med-jacks, Track-Hoes, Blood Housers. The Runners, of course. I don't know, a few more, maybe." […]
"What's a Slopper?" He knew that was what Chuck did, but the boy never wanted to talk about it. […]
"That's what the shanks do that can't do nothin' else. Clean toilets, clean the showers, clean the kitchen, clean up the Blood House after a slaughter, everything." (16.6,8)
That's the problem with structure: there's always gotta be someone on the bottom.

"You know, I'm really not all that scared. I mean, last few nights, sitting in the Homestead, just waiting for a Griever to come in and steal one of us was the worst thing I've ever done. At least now we're taking it to them, trying something." (54.4)
Chuck has a good point for once: taking action is a great way to defeat fear. The worst part can often be the time when you're sitting there just dreading whatever it is that you're afraid of.
"The Slammer. It's our jail on the north side of the Homestead." Chuck pointed in that direction. "They threw him in it so fast, the Med-jacks had to patch him up in there." (13.38)
At least they have somewhere to contain those awaiting sentencing. Who knows where they'd go otherwise… oh right. They're trapped in the Glade surrounded by a deadly Maze… but throwing guys in there would be a sentencing in its own right.
