Prisoners (7)

I believe the answer is:

inmates

'prisoners' is the definition.
(inmate is a kind of prisoner)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for inmates that I've seen before include "Inhabitants" , "Prisoners" , "Ties man (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Mirror.
