Yes. A father can assign his parents as guardians of his child. They will make excellent guardians while he is in jail.
A father may not appoint his parents guardians if the child's natural mother is still alive and is able to care for the child. The natural parent has the prior right to guardianship, even over someone appointed by a person having equal right to be guardian. The right to appoint other people as guardians is governed by state law which may vary. You must check your own state's laws to be certain.
