Why is “sentencing” and “ not going to prison” irrelevant to the claim?
Would it require the assumption that the conviction and arrest lead to prison time? I’m just wondering why these elements, which are all connected, go against the claim in the passage

It would require exactly that assumption. One can be arrested and convicted without imprisonment. Imprisonment can be a consequence of conviction, but so could house arrest, probation, and large fines. Second, D is only telling us that they rarely serve long sentences, not that they rarely serve any sentence. The argument is talking about arrest and conviction. The fact that a set of criminals rarely face one possible downstream consequence of those things doesn't have much bearing on the likelyhood of them facing the upstream elements.
