A cooler blend (4)
I believe the answer is:
stir
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'a cooler' is the first definition.
(both are slang terms for prison)
'blend' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Commotion; wake" , "Sensation" , "Produce disorder < , wake up" , "Arouse (a memory)" , "Mix or agitate" .)
