'whose did he' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'incarcerated in stir wrongly?' is the wordplay.
'incarcerated' becomes 'he' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wrongly?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'wrongly' mean this).
'stir' with letters rearranged gives 'tirs'.
'he' going within 'tirs' is 'THEIRS'.

'get' is the link.
