Get out of prison early in the year (6)
I believe the answer is:
spring
I believe this is a double definition.
'get out of prison' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'early in the year' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for spring that I've seen before include "Season of growth" , "Does the house out thoroughly" , "Flowering season of 7 dn" , "rise" , "The bouncy season" .)
