Put in a slum site, he got out (9)

I believe the answer is:

ghettoise

'put in a slum' is the definition.
(to put in a ghetto or separate area)

'site he got out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'site'+'he'+'got'='sitehegot'
'sitehegot' with letters rearranged gives 'GHETTOISE'.

(Another definition for ghettoise that I've seen is " put in a separate place".)
