I think the reasoning goes something like: you can't fire someone for being falsely imprisoned so just being unable to perform because you're in jail isn't sufficient grounds for firing. Simply being convicted of a crime also isn't grounds as you might still be able to work depending on the crime. As a result, you need some criteria for determining what will cause someone to be fired and what won't. If something isn't included in that policy, there might be a case for a lawsuit if someone is fired over it.

The people in these jobs are usually part of unions. Unions usually include something about what constitutes grounds for termination in their contract. If it isn't against policy it may be illegal but leave them unable to terminate employment resulting in indefinite paid administrative leave (even while in jail) or giving a payout to keep them from suing.
