Why does Charley tell Willy "the jails are full of fearless characters"?

• A. There has been a series of burglaries in their neighborhood. They have been discussing ways to scare away the young hoodlums.
• B. Charley's son has recently been sentenced to five years in jail for armed robbery. Charley is saving face, pretending he is not afraid for his son's safety in prison.
• C. Willy has just sent his sons across the road to a new construction site to steal more building supplies. Willy is proud of their fearlessness, but Charley sees a more practical side to it, that what the boys are doing is wrong.
• D. Willy has shared a rather shady business scheme with Charley. Charley doesn't want to participate, and Willy calls him a coward.
