I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but I always thought the Clink was the debtors prison.

Fleet Prison (pulled down in 1846)
Giltspur Street Compter (pulled down in 1854)
King's Bench Prison (pulled down in the 1870�s)
Marshalsea Prison (mostly pulled down in 1849, with some parts surviving unitl the 1970,s)
Poultry Compter (pulled down in 1817)
Wood Street Counter (destroyed by the fire of London in 1666, and rebuilt under the name of Giltspur Street as above)
