Cooperations will just start paying compensation for executive jail time - and replace executives at a accelerated rate.

The only working regulation is one that is a existential threat to the company. Which means- huge financial punnishments.

Something I'm surprised no one has considered seriously is revoking business licenses. That is a much more existential threat, literally.

Corporate death penalty. It's the only way to be sure.

Maybe they start paying compensation to the family, making sure that they're set even if you fail - firmly stepping into mafia territory.

Still, corporations, while being essentially a different kind of life, are not entirely separate entities - they are composed of people. Fear of jail might just be enough to get some high-level executives to exert proper influence on the direction of the corporation.

You can’t return a decade sitting in a miserable cell.

Oh, contrair- if you have a decade sitting unemployed in a room- and you get a chance, by taking all the responsibilities and liabilitys, to live your golden years in the sun- what would you have to loose?
