Because we live in a society where cooperation is key to the survival of the whole society.
Cooperation can only be achieved by not being bad, aka, being good.
A non-cooperative individual is set aside and his survival is imperiled.
Sure, nowadays people are not supposed to die in jail... But passing through there tends to keep those individuals in a behavior that systematically lands them in perilous situations... Eventually, they perish while society moves on.
If the grand majority were to not cooperate with society, then society itself would crumble and the survival of the species would become problematic... Luckily (or not), that's not in the cards for the near-mid future.
