Spend (time in prison) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serve

(Other definitions for serve that I've seen before include "Work for, be of use to" , "Attend; start to play tennis" , "Milton 'They also . . . . . who only stand and wait'" , "Work for; tennis stroke" , "Be of use to - wait on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
