Has the skills in prison (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

can

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'has the skills' is the first definition.
(is able)

'prison' is the second definition.
(the can is American slang for prison)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for can that I've seen before include "Metal container for food" , "Cooler" , "May" , "Tin; be able to" , "Vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
