He confines another (6)

I believe the answer is:

captor

(Other definitions for captor that I've seen before include "Someone taking prisoner" , "One who confines another" , "One taking a prisoner" , "Holder of a prisoner" , "Top car (anag) -- jailer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
