Prison commotion (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)

'commotion' is the second definition.
(stir can mean a commotion)

(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Mix the ingredients" , "Create revolutionary movement" , "Sensation" , "Prison - mix" , "Move around - prison" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
