The local record office will have them if they exist.  Try looking at www.genuki.org to get the web site adress for them.  Their catalogue may be online.   Genuki has lots of other interesting information too.

1901 England census for Northumberland- All Saints has District HM Prison giving a list of inmates and staff. It was situated in Carloil Square in central Newcastle.

I was looking through Rootschat and found your reply to another subscriber re Prison Records, you quoted a website for www.genuki.org, I tried to get onto the site, only to have it come up with www.genuki.net, when I go into genuki.uk.org, I can't find where I can go to find the Prison Reocrds. Nt reason is I know my gr grandfather was in an Asylum in carloil Sq in 1891 but have not been able to find anything on him after that. His name was William Hall.

Should be www.genuki.org.uk     Sorry.  They should have a link to the record office in Newcastle.  It is in Bolbec Hall.  They are the ones who will have the prison records if they exist.
Northumberland and Durham Family History Society may be able to point  you in the right direction too.
How old would your gt grandfather have been?   He may have died before the 1901 census.

Thank you for replying to my query. My gr grandfather was born in 1846, so would have been about 55 in 1901, and because he had such a common name, it would be nearly impossible to find the right death if he had died.

Had you thought of writing to the local register office?  Assuming that he dies in Newcastle it might be worth asking if they can trace a death of a William Hall with the correct occupation, husband of x etc.  All you would lose is the cost of the stamp.    If you cannot trace the asylum records then it is worth a try!

NB your post title refers to prison records but of course the asylum was not a prison as such although the inmates may not have been free to wander about the town!

The Borough Lunatic Asylum for Newcastle around 1900 was at Coxlodge which is in Gosforth, then outside the town, perhaps a smaller target for a search. Carloil Square at that time, apart from the County Prison, contained numerous lodging houses.
