24. Putting in my vote for proportionality
Since corporations are now legally people. And since corporations are, according to their supporters, merely groups of people, and thus due the rights, they should collectively have the responsibility as well.

So... If a corporation steals. or kills. or whatever the wrong may be, they should be legally responsible for their actions, and given sentence like any other person. And that sentence, should it involve jail time or criminal record, or whatever, should be equally divided up among those responsible, just as any profits would be. Ceo's get a stake in it, based just the same way their compensation is. Owners as well.

What one does with 1/8th, or 1/10000th of a felony on their record, I do not know. But it should be there for the public record. That might begin to motivate people to pay attention.
