Hi excookie
Welcome to RootsChat
If you give his name he may be in the 19th Century British Library Newspapers which go past 1901.

The Prison may have some information about inmates amongst their historical records. It may not be kept at the prison of course, but nothing to lose from asking. You could always try the Liverpool Record Office as well.
Good luck
