Final section of NY prison sentence after being out of prison? (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
home stretch
'final section of ny prison' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'sentence after being out of prison?' is the wordplay.
'sentence' becomes 'stretch' (a stretch in prison).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'being out of prison?' becomes 'home' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stretch' after 'home' is 'HOME-STRETCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for home stretch that I've seen before include "Last part of a race" , "Last part of race(course)" , "extending one's house?" , "Where the end is in sight" , "It's almost the end" .)
