Hi,

You could try contacting the Records Office For Leicestershire who hold prison records 1866 - 1985 -

http://record-office-catalogue.leics.gov.uk/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=T767

The records for 1922-24 are most likely closed (100 years rule). However I have dealt with them before and was able to overcome that ruling, in fact they were most helpful with my request.

Hope they are able to help you.

JJ
