In a prisoner's dilemma, the type of behavior that provides the most benefit for each individual is to cooperate.

If the prisoners cooperate, it means that the police won't have enough proof against these criminals given that they will give the same account of what actually happened. Instead of remaining silent, confessing, or betraying each other, the wisest decision for them is to cooperate and thus reduce their punishment.
