Right.

Put crudely: Put someone in jail and he's not going to be around to rob anyone. But he's also not going to be around to talk sense into his kid brother.

Nor is he around his grandma for her to talk sense into him; instead he is around a bunch of career criminals.

Nor is he around his children, making a stable household for them to grow up focusing on school and building their own futures.
