I think making him pay his taxes along with hefty fines and interest owing would have been more effective. Maybe he'll get out in a month though, like most celebrities.
It wouldn't have resulted in millions of tax dollars if he never pays, LOL.

But I agree, prison for tax evasion always seems very weird. Nobody is really directly impacted. Yet we have guys running ponzi schemes and destroying pension funds, literally ruining lives, and nothing happens to them.
