Crossword Genius

Jailed, then released, everted (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inside out

'everted' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'jailed then released' is the wordplay.
'jailed' becomes 'inside' (I've seen this before).
'then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'released' becomes 'out' (eg out of prison).
'inside'+'out'='INSIDE-OUT'

(Other definitions for inside out that I've seen before include "how expert knows his trade?" , "turned the wrong way" , "reversal of normal" , "comprehensively" , "Turned to show the inner surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
