Cool prison venues to be redesigned (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unresponsive

'cool' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'prison venues to be redesigned' is the wordplay.
'to be redesigned' indicates an anagram.
'prison'+'venues'='prisonvenues'
'prisonvenues' anagrammed gives 'UNRESPONSIVE'.

(Other definitions for unresponsive that I've seen before include "disengaged" , "Not reacting to stimuli" , "Not answering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
