Having had a conviction I don't want to pick up one for lying on my CV. In jail I knew someone convicted for just that, though I think it is rare.

Lying on resumes is so common, how on earth did someone go to jail for it?

yea, definitely struck me as odd too, most people bullshit a bit on CVs so whether there was more to it I don't know: TBH you don't usually ask people for details of why they're inside - it can get ... problematic.
