How do you figure? Criminals don't stop being criminals when you don't put them in jail. Once they are in jail, though, they lose the tools necessary to continue their criminal acts. For white collar criminals, I'd suspect that a stint in jail is enough to help them realize they don't every want to go there again. For would-be white collar criminals there is a massive deterrent effect of seeing your compatriots go to jail for things you might have done yourself.
