Might it be breakfast time in prison? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

porridge

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'might it be breakfast' is the first definition.
(porridge is often served as breakfast)

'time in prison?' is the second definition.
(porridge is a slang term for time in prison)

(Other definitions for porridge that I've seen before include "Boiled oatmeal or prison sentence" , "Morning oats" , "Oat dish; time in prison (slang)" , "Breakfast dish - spell in prison" , "Stir" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
