Prison sentence (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

time

'prison sentence' is the definition.
(as in 'doing time')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for time that I've seen before include "Indefinite period" , "Pub closing call" , "Era" , "Prison sentence; tempo" , "'Every ... we say goodbye, I cry a little' /Cole Porter" .)

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