Imprisoned right person with secret information (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insider

'person with secret information' is the definition.

'imprisoned right' is the wordplay.
'imprisoned' becomes 'inside' (I've seen this before).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'inside'+'r'='INSIDER'

(Other definitions for insider that I've seen before include "One privy to info by being within organisation" , "One of us" , "person with confidential info" , "Accepted member of accepted group, has access to information" , "Member of clique" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
