This quote is another representation of Dickens portraying the young immature child in Pip. Back then, he thought everyone could go to jail. It also shows how Mrs. Joe scares Pip and manipulates him into being scared of going to the Hulks. He sees himself as a convict, and Mrs. Joe's threats make him believe it. It's ironic how the writing style is so sophisticated, but Dickens makes him seem very childish. Dickens does a good job of balancing the two to make it comical.
