Head of a prison (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

governor

(Other definitions for governor that I've seen before include "Head of each state in the USA" , "captain" , "Official in charge of town/region" , "One exercising authority" , "Some misgiving over Norse ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
