'cleric in gaol' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'principal has no problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates anagramming the letters.
'principal'+'has'+'no'='principalhasno'
'principalhasno' is an anagram of 'PRISON CHAPLAIN'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for prison chaplain that I've seen is " Can preacher".)
