The National Archives should be able to help.

The Registers of Prisoners (http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Calendars_of_Prisoners%2C_Prison_R egisters_and_Prison_Returns_in_The_National_Archiv es) for Millbank Prison for 1843-1874 appear to be in section HO24 and for 1837-1878 they are in PCOM2
