Often, when some company as a whole does something bad, there is a crowd that yells "jail time for the CEO", and this is the reason I think it is not the solution. If CEOs risked jail time for every bad thing the company does, it would select for scapegoat CEOs more willing to risk jail time (or even death) than more honest/competent CEOs.
Note that like with anyone else, if the bad thing is question is a crime and personal responsibility is established, the CEO can go to jail, it has already happened. I am more thinking about company-wide problems, like labor law violations, anticompetitive parctices or misuse of personal data where everyone involved in the company is a little bit responsible: management for giving orders, employees for following them, the board for choosing that management, investors and customers for supporting that with their money.
