Prisoner, maybe, one of an exclusive group (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insider

This clue is a double definition.

'prisoner maybe' is the first definition.
(someone who's 'inside')

'one of an exclusive group' is the second definition.
(someone inside a particular group)

(Other definitions for insider that I've seen before include "Accepted member of accepted group, has access to information" , "Privileged member of a group" , "I may know secrets" , "Member of clique" , "Particularly advantaged person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
