Most "white collar" crimes are felonies: embezzlement, fraud, insider trading, etc. Since these are crimes, why shouldn't these people go to prison?
Once you have any sort of felony history you are forbidden from participating in almost any financial service/industry. This keeps white-collar criminals from committing more such crimes. This also protects society, because it prevents the loss of billions of dollars (such as what happened with the Savings & Loan failures of the late 1980s/early 1990s).
