That's right, six months at Strangeways, initially! (3)

I believe the answer is:

yes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'that's right' is the definition.
(right can mean yes or okay)

'six months at strangeways initially' is the wordplay.
'six months at' becomes 'ye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'strangeways' is 's'.
'ye'+'s'='YES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yes that I've seen before include "Affirmative answer" , "3 across" , "Certainly!" , "Yea" , "OK" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
