Do you believe that every agency in the government should be able to send people to jail? The SEC can't send people to jail for the same reason the Dept of Housing and Urban Development and the Post Office can't, because they have not been granted that legal authority. The ability to imprison is not granted to most Federal agencies.
Why would the SEC be able to imprison people? That's not their job. They also can't set the prime interest rate or grant radio spectrum rights to AT&T.
