That's not the statement that's getting morphed, but the notion that abstinence can prevent one from becoming entangled in the criminal justice system.  Abstaining from criminal activity is no guaranty of not getting convicted and imprisoned.
I guess if you want to take a single sentence out of a longer post, you can pretend it says whatever the fuck you want it to.


"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." --Thomas Jefferson
