Staffer imprisoned at Dartmoor finally (7)
I believe the answer is:
insider
'staffer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'imprisoned at dartmoor finally' is the wordplay.
'imprisoned' becomes 'inside' (I've seen this before).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'dartmoor' is 'r'.
'inside'+'r'='INSIDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for insider that I've seen before include "One dealing illegally" , "person with confidential info" , "One privy to knowledge as an organisation member" , "He's in the circle, knows the right people" , "One privy to restricted information" .)
