Reported mother will pay visit to abandoned prison (10)
I believe the answer is:
marshalsea
'prison' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'reported mother will pay visit to abandoned' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'mother' could be 'ma' (ma can mean mother) and 'ma' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for marshalsea that I've seen before include "It kept prisoners" , "Former London debtors' prison" , "Old prison" .)
