How can I find when and why someone went to prison

Hi I know that my Great Uncle had a colourful life and that he was in Wandsworth prison on the 1901 census. I would like to try to find out when he got sent there and why. I know it was sometime between 1899 and the 1901 Census. His name was Harry Tomkins and he was born 1880 in Portsmouth.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Sara
