Where would I look to find admission records for Wandsworth Prison?  As it was formerly known as The Surrey House of Correction, would they be at the Surrey History Centre?  I've found a couple of 'naughty' relies on the census and would love to know the reason for them doing porridge! Roll Eyes One was only 10 years old Huh

Thanks Kazza,
I found a useful information leaflet at the National Archives for anyone else who might need it http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/rdleaflet.asp?sLeafletURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecatalogue%2Enationalarchives%2Egov%2Euk%2FLeaflets%2Fri2185%2Ehtm&lBack=-1

So, the place to look is the National Archives.
