Prison sentence for the enemy? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

time

I believe this is a double definition.

'prison sentence' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the enemy?' is the second definition.
(the enemy when speaking figuratively)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for time that I've seen before include "Measure of duration" , "Duration; tempo" , "Indefinite period" , "It's measured by watch or clock" , "Age" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
