You're essentially wrong: while arrest and jail are obviously not in the cards for corporations, they are subject to criminal charges (RICO was in fact established to do this with a lower threshold for making the charge).  Arthur Andersen was convicted of obstruction of justice WRT to Enron, and while that conviction was reversed, it was too late since it had lost its CPA license as a result.<p>You're also wrong about the draft bit: while the mechanism is different, private companies have found themselves taken over by the Federal government during e.g. WWII ... or at least the credible threat was made (most recently I read such a case WRT to the Manhattan Project, that threat was required to light a fire under one company that supplied them).
