They can but that's generally not the problem. You aren't getting paid while you're in jail, so those payments are likely to bounce (Americans often live paycheck to paycheck).

Why not bind them to their credit cards then?

All my bills go to credit cards and I even get 2% cash back on them all that way too.

I guess you will run into your credit limit that way eventually too if you are behind on payments for it.
