"However, what possible reason would the person have to remain silent about the real reason they're in prison once they're already in prison"

Look at Qwest CEO Nacchio's case. He claimed exactly that, see e.g. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/13/jailed-qwest-ceo-claimed-t... and what happened?

He's jailed for 6 years, I'm sure most people believe it's because he's eeevil capitalist scum, and whatever the truth, everyone else in his position has to take it as likely they'd suffer the same fate.

Now that this seems to have turned a corner it might play out differently, but "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
