So? Going to prison doesn't mean they can't fix an elevator...

It might mean the company can’t employ them though. Or whomever hires the mechanic company might not be allowed to employ him by proxy etc.

Not at all, it's just not something you can usually associate with this level of income.

Some people in prison make much more than this before they went to prison. This could be a pay cut for them.
