Write page in prayer where one has a little freedom? (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

open prison

'where one has a little freedom?' is the definition.

'write page in prayer' is the wordplay.
'write' becomes 'pen' ('pen' can be a synonym of 'write').
'page' becomes 'p'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'prayer' becomes 'orison' ('orison' can be a synonym of 'prayer'**).
'pen'+'p'='penp'
'penp' put inside 'orison' is 'OPEN PRISON'.

(Other definitions for open prison that I've seen before include "Gaol for mild offenders" , "jail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
