Missing verb sense: extorting food in prison?

Mentioned in Green's Newspeak (1984). I could only find this mention:

• 1986, Shama Ahmed, ‎Juliet Cheetham, ‎John Small, Social Work with Black Children and Their Families (page 168)

  […] have led to a growing black hold on traditional prison rackets like extortion and 'hoovering', taking food away from weaker inmates.
