Bandit in prison also (7)
I believe the answer is:
brigand

(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brigand that I've seen before include "Bandit" , "Robber - darn big (anag)" , "desperado" , "Robber in wild places" , "Criminal" .)
