Long-term prisoner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lifer

'long-term prisoner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lifer that I've seen before include "Long-term prisoner" , "Prisoner serving the maximum term" , "person given sizeable bird" , "Person serving long sentence" , "One with maximum sentence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Guardian, The Times and The Independent.
