Way convict goes around a prison camp (6)
I believe the answer is:
stalag
'prison camp' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'way convict goes around a' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (**).
'convict' becomes 'lag' (I've seen this before).
'goes around' is an insertion indicator.
'st'+'lag'='stlag'
'stlag' going around 'a' is 'STALAG'.
(Other definitions for stalag that I've seen before include "German POW camp in WWII" , "German prison camp in WW2" , "Type of German prison camp" , "German prisoner-of-war camp of WW2" , "German camp for POWs" .)
