Thus 60% do, particularly if the amount evaded is of the magnitude that Hunter had to pay.

Again, Hunter was pleading guilty, had no prior offenses, and had repaid all of the money (with penalties). His amount was large, but not ridiculously large - per the fact sheet, it wouldn't be in the top 20% of cases.

All of that makes it pretty unlikely that an "ordinary" person in Hunter's position would end up with jail time. Someone who had a large (but not enormous) tax obligation, but who agreed to plead guilty and pay back the money and had no priors, would probably be in the 40% who didn't get jail time, not the 60% who do.
