Presents to send a criminal (7)
I believe the answer is:
donates
'presents' is the definition.
(donating is a kind of presenting)
'to send a criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'send'+'a'='tosenda'
'tosenda' anagrammed gives 'DONATES'.
(Other definitions for donates that I've seen before include "Offers free" , "Gives to good cause" , "gifts" .)
