.
"Up in G" has nothing to with with either subways (no one lives "in" a subway!) or prisons. It means doing very well.
"Away up in G" (also "way up in G" or "up in G") was a turn-of-the-century expression meaning "very high" -- as in G, the highest note of the A to G scale -- or by extension "very well."
