hello makayla
as far as i can make out there are no records held in eng for pow,s they were all sent back to the relevant countries after the war but also the red cross were sent them as well so at least 2 avenues open to you to search check out this site  gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44435 it,s a forum discussion someones asking the same question as you it may give you a better insight in your quest .
best wishes
trevor
