'is a consumer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'jailed without society?' is the wordplay.
'jailed' becomes 'putaway' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'without' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'society?' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'putaway' placed around 's' is 'PUTS AWAY'.
