Usually there is a hint for the whole word as well to reduce ambiguity.

Perhaps you are
Miscellaneous
My Prefix is an abbreviation of the whole word
Often abbreviated Misc.
My Infix is a place used to keep criminals
Cells are used to keep criminals.
My Suffix, though consists of only 2 letters, is another word for ourselves
Us

Correct! May I ask whether this is too easy?

It's relatively easy, but not too easy. The suffix clue was obvious and there are only a few things the infix could be. Perhaps you could make the clues a little more cryptic in the future, and add a clue for the whole word as wolfram42 suggested.

Probably wrong, but to get the ball rolling
Calculus
Because:
It is abbreviated as Cal, Cul (short for cul de sac) is a dead end. And "us" is 2 letters for "ourselves"
Nice try but not the correct word. +1 for fitting all the requirements.
