Question

If my husband was incarcerated for half of the year, and only worked two months of the year before that, can I claim him as my dependent?

No.  A spouse is never a dependent.  You just file a Joint return.  Or if you have a child you might qualify to file Head of Household without him.  Then he has to file as Married filing Separately.
