Exactly. But when you say that in russian, there is a whole lot of implications.
This generally means that no one can guarantee that he'd never go to jail, so all those places (jails) are not that remote as they appear to be.
There is also a proveb -
"От сумы и от тюрьмы не зарекайся".
The closest equivalent would be "never say never".
