Corporate jail time (i.e. barring a company from operating in the marketplace) is equivalent to a death sentence for most companies. Nevertheless, I'd love to hear some ideas about what else "jail time" for a corporation might mean.

The core of the Citizens United decision was that becoming a member of a group (ie: Corporation) did not abrogate individual rights. The implication is that groups of people have the exact same rights as individuals.

I think there needs to be a corollary in terms of responsibility.

Of course, the entire raison d'etre of modern corporations is to indemnify the members against responsibility for the actions of the group.

It's an economic death sentence for most individuals, too.
