He was not convicted of tax evasion, but was convicted of using his ministry housing allowance for two parsonages, which the court tried to say was illegal. He served ten months in the Atlanta camp. In 2012 the highest tax court in the United States finally closed the case when the panel of judges ruled that in fact, Mr. Driscoll had done nothing wrong and nothing illegal and had not abused the minister's housing allowance.
It was written up in the Wall Street Journal, among other places.

Yes, the charges were Tax Evasion.
Once someone is found guilty of tax evasion some of the penalties associated with this crime range from being fined to jail time. The IRS and the CID are responsible for enforcing penalties associated with tax evasion.
al Capone
It was actually his idea. Capone turned himself in to Chicago police on a concealed-weapons charge, as an ultimate way to avoid a "hit" by rival gangsters. He expected to be released after things settled down, but the Federal government seized the opportunity (since Capone was already in custody, and could be extradited) to launch an income tax evasion case against him. He was convicted in 1922, and sent to prison.
