Detention centre for young offenders (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borstal

(Other definitions for borstal that I've seen before include "Detention centre" , "Former institute of correction for youngsters" , "Formerly, prison for young offenders" , "offenders used to be confined here" , "Old institution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
