Person in custody (8)

I believe the answer is:

prisoner

(Other definitions for prisoner that I've seen before include "Captive, incarcerated criminal" , "Incarcerated person" , "One captured" , "Senior PR (anag) - one in detention" , "Person behind bars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Independent.
