Yes, it is totally possible. The fear of going to jail despite not even committing a crime is called "Carcerophobia". Sufferers spend their entire life worrying about going to jail.
I think 'cleithrophobia' can also be related to this condition which is actually the fear of being trapped, locked in, or unable to escape. Often, this fear is related to a concern that one will experience panic or significant discomfort, yet will be unable to leave the situation.
From what I can glean the name for the phobia of going to prison is 'carcerophobia' - fear of imprisonment while 'capiophobia' is the fear of getting arrested.
Even if one has done nothing wrong, the fear of incarceration may be greatly elevated. Perhaps this isn't helped by the amount of true crime or prison documentaries now on offer.
