Prison agitation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stir

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'prison' is the first definition.
(informal term for prison)

'agitation' is the second definition.
(in the sense of a disturbance)

(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Whisk or rotate" , "Prison (sl.); agitate" , "Prison (slang) - disturbance" , "Begin to move" , "riot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
