No. Although the prosecutor can recommend a jail sentence, the prosecutor cannot actually sentence you to jail, only a judge can do that.
The prosectur proves your guilt, and if it is reasonable and did a good job at proving the guilt then the judge agrees with the prosecution, and the prosecution wins its case, and the DEFENCE looses, and the person is sent to Jail.
