Prison official (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

governor

(Other definitions for governor that I've seen before include "Person in authority" , "Ron, go rev up the state head" , "Ruler of a colony - machine regulator" , "captain" , "Motor control to regulate speed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
