Both uses of the pronoun him refer to Joseph. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Potiphar probably had soldiers arrest Joseph for him, since he had the authority to do that as the captain of the guards. Alternate translation: [Then he had Joseph arrested and put in the jail]
מְק֕וֹם אֲשֶׁר־אסורי הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲסוּרִ֑ים
