What does "between" mean in this sentence?

Solution 1:

You're right.

The writer of that sentence either accidentally missed out the other reference point, or they had some kind of brainstorm and used a different preposition than the one they meant to (e.g. 'between' instead of 'beyond').

Solution 2:

The sentence actually doesn't make sense and was likely an accidental omission by the author. For example, either of the following sentences would be considered correct:

"The house is on the right side of the street, between the yard of the prison and the jailhouse."

Perhaps:

"The house is on the right side of the street, between the yards of the prison."

The compound preposition "between" necessarily implies that there are at least two distinct objects, times, or locations.
