Type of prisoner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lifer

'type of prisoner' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lifer that I've seen before include "convict given longest sentence" , "One with maximum sentence" , "Long-term prisoner" , "Convicted murderer, say" , "One given lots of porridge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
