Advance of prisoners go amok (11)
I believe the answer is:
progression
'advance' is the definition.
('progression' can be a synonym of 'advance')
'prisoners go amok' is the wordplay.
'amok' indicates anagramming the letters.
'prisoners'+'go'='prisonersgo'
'prisonersgo' is an anagram of 'PROGRESSION'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for progression that I've seen before include "Forward motion" , "(Mathematical) sequence" , "Gradual development" , "Gradual advancement" .)
