Cheshire / Re: Anybody familiar with Knutsford?

I am trying to trace one of my Great Aunt's sons.
His name is James Allan Booth
Born 10 Aug 1914 Bucklow
I have him on the 1921-1939 census still living at home.
I next have him in 1953 where he is a motor Driver native of Altrincham.
then again in 1953 Cheshire Quarter sessions Knutsford where he was remanded in custody until the Monday where he was sentenced to prison for 12 months. where would they have sent him and how can I check prison records ?
Then on the 28 Nov 1956 last time seen alive. his body was found in Brunswick road Broadheath on the 30 November 1956. I cannot find out anything about his death, the family never spoke of it. As I don't live in the area I am finding it hard to research.
I am trying to piece together his life. His mother remarried 1950 to a lovely man, so why did he turn to crime???
