THE contents of the former prison at Victoria Road, Douglas, went under the hammer in March.
There were 500 lots up for auction including CCTV cameras, cell doors and prisoner overalls.
Home Affairs Minister Adrian Earnshaw MHK said: "The reason for inviting an auction house in is to try to realise any remaining value instead of scrapping everything.
"There may be some interest in a few quirky artifacts such as the cell doors and several board beds from the old isolation cells. Souvenir hunters might also want to bid for the various internal wall signs but the majority of the lots are the remaining office and other equipment, such as CCTV cameras, filing cabinets, curtains and blinds."
Also amongst the 500 lots were stacking chairs, mops and kitchen equipment plus prisoner art work including a set of five terracotta skulls and a matchstick model of Big Ben.
Auctioneer Murray Keefe commented: "An auction is the best way to try to clear the old prison. It's a job that needs to be done and this is the most efficient way on behalf of the department.
"Although there are no valuable antiques I expect there will be a lot of interest particularly in the condemned man's cell doors."
Chrystals Auctions organised the sale which took place on Friday, March 12.
