Does anyone know how to find out what a person was sent to prison for?

My gr gr grandmother was, at the time of the 1881 census, in the H M Prison, Frances Street, Westminster, London.

Her name was Susan Kelling (nee Grover), age 30 (1851), married, domestic servant general. Her correct birth date is 12-Dec-1847, Alton, Hampshire/Southampton.

She is shown as a prisoner - not a convict.

See http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=253

This must surely be a FAQ.

Thanks for the link Peter. Can only view at Kew, so this option is not available for me.
