Comments on the clue
1.Inside only refers to prison as an adverb not noun. Clue would have been a good one if it stopped at four definitions!
2.Ok, but it just defines 'prison', not 'bridewell' specifically
3.…I don't think it does work: 'lock-up' a verb? PS Random forenames are generally poorly regarded in clues (= easy options etc).
4.Amusing but how is the solver to work out which prison?
5.Problem is that they all define the same headword
