Crossword Genius

Uproar in prison (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stir

I believe this is a double definition.

'uproar' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'prison' is the second definition.
(informal term for prison)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Wake; disturbance" , "Wake up - prison" , "Agitate; wake from sleep" , "Cause to move in slangy prison" , "Arouse (a memory)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
