Prison articles for biblical land (6)
I believe the answer is:
canaan
'biblical land' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'prison articles' is the wordplay.
'prison' becomes 'can' (the can is American slang for prison).
'articles' becomes 'aan' (two indefinite articles).
'can'+'aan'='CANAAN'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for canaan that I've seen before include "Old Palestine" , "Biblical Palestine" , "Ancient Palestine, the Promised Land" , "ancient country" , "Ancient Palestine as in Bible" .)
