Incarcerated people with income above the threshold for filing are required to file. Incarceration has nothing to do with it; such a person may well be self-employed (as artist or writer or in some other capacity). Prison income generally doesn't rise above the threshold for filing, but other income (interest, dividends, rents, royalties) or as above, may make filing necessary. Or a joint return may be possible.

Yes, a lot of the people who are incarcerated earned money during the year before they were incarcerated or they may have investments.

The US requires all of it's citizens and residents to file returns on their worldwide income, no matter where they live. As long as they have income over the minimum filing requirements (that you would find in the Form 1040 instructions), then they are required ot file a return.
