Crossword Genius

Moving quietly, preparing cell for raver? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padding

This clue is a double definition.

'moving quietly' is the first definition.

'preparing cell for raver?' is the second definition.
(reference to padded cells)

(Another definition for padding that I've seen is " Soft stuffing".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
