Answer 1

Don't forget the Newspaper library at Colindale to check out the local paper for the area.

Things that new may be subject to closure limitations.

Answer 2

Have a look at the links posted below, the first one will almost certainly be the one you need to find where the information is held. Here is the address given at the top of the first page you might just decide to use that,

PRISON SERVICE HQ LIBRARY

Room 224, Abell House, John Islip Street, London, SW1P 4LH

Tel [phone]/5548 Fax [phone]

You will notice there's a phone number as well.

I don't know what happened with the link to the site, but if you phone them they will give you the site address.
