Blagged with prisoner (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lag

'prisoner' is the definition.
(slang term)

'blagged with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'LAG' is hidden within 'blagged'.

(Other definitions for lag that I've seen before include "trail" , "Drag one's feet" , "Wrap to protect from frost" , "Fall behind or cover to prevent heat loss" , "Hang back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
