I have traced an ancestor's cousin to Huntsville in 1880, a resident of the state. All I have on him is his name on the census. Does anyone know if there are records from the prison during this time frame? I am trying to find out why he was in prison and for how long. I believe he was out by at least 1894.

All I have is his name, age, and place of birth. Any info on how to obtain any records which may be available would be greatly appreciated.
