Scrounge from daughter in prison (5)
I believe the answer is:
cadge
'scrounge' is the definition.
(I know that scrounge can be written as cadge)
'daughter in prison' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'prison' becomes 'cage' (cage is a kind of prison).
'd' placed into 'cage' is 'CADGE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for cadge that I've seen before include "Sponge (eg money)" , "Try to borrow" , "beg" , "Scrounge, sponge" , "Sponge (money, etc)" .)
