Long-term convict (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lifer

'long-term convict' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lifer that I've seen before include "One behind bars for ever" , "Long-term prisoner" , "One given lots of porridge" , "Rifle (anag.)" , "One with maximum sentence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
