One kept prisoner (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

internee

'one kept prisoner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for internee that I've seen before include "One kept prisoner" , "One is held without trial" , "Prisoner of war living in armed camp or prison" , "Alien confined in war" , "Suspect held" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
