Any reliable statistics on how many atheists are in prison?

Usually less than half a percent. But as always, the key is "reliable" statistics. As the lawyer just pointed out, a lot of folks going to prison "find" religion, so I would have to agree that it isn't a wholly fair comparison. But even still, when they do studies of prison populations that have had religious training, those without religious training are under-represented. Either way the point is not an important one. All people are best judged on their actions as opposed to the labels they wear. :)
