Prisoner or patient? (6)
I believe the answer is:
inmate
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'prisoner' is the first definition.
(inmate can mean someone in prison)
'patient?' is the second definition.
(I know that inmate is a type of patient)
(Other definitions for inmate that I've seen before include "One is confined to an institution" , "Inhabitant of prison or hospital" , "Occupant" , "Con" , "Inhabitant of prison or other institution" .)
