Quietly Ron is taken off to jail (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prison

'to jail' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quietly ron is taken' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'taken' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ron' enclosing 'is' is 'rison'.
'p'+'rison'='PRISON'

'off' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for prison that I've seen before include "Cooler" , "Penitentiary" , "Place of incarceration" , "Slammer" , "punishment" .)
