Jail cell occupant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inmate

(Other definitions for inmate that I've seen before include "One in prison/hospital" , "you mightn't want him to escape" , "Someone confined, eg to hospital or prison" , "One held in prison" , "One is confined to an institution" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
