Some obscure felonies, and some plain baffling reasons for imprisonment.

Owning more than two dildos in Arizona (or six in Texas)
In Texas, owning more than 6 dildos signals an "intention to distribute obscene devices" and can be a felony charge with a prison sentence of up to one year. In Arizona, the limit is two.
Wearing a red mask while committing misdemeanors in Arizona
In Arizona, any misdemeanor charge is automatically upgraded to a felony if you're wearing a red mask. This is more of a rarely-enforced bluebook holdover from AZ's frontier days, but thanks again, Arizona. While we're on the topic, cactus theft of certain species can run you up to a class four felony.

Having oral sex in Georgia
In high school, Genarlow Wilson was recruited heavily by Columbia and Brown University. In his senior year, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for receiving oral sex at a party. Both lawyers and the girl agreed that he did not initiate the encounter, but oral sex could be prosecuted under Georgia's archaic sodomy laws. Though he was freed after two years, other Americans (such as Wendy Whitaker, pictured right) have also gone to jails or prisons for getting a little frisky on Southern school grounds and are now registered as sex offenders for life.
