If a corporation is convicted of a crime, who goes to jail?

7. A Bit Understated

There are elements to safety & environmental laws that put quite a burden on managers.
Many are written to the effect "if a manager knows or should have known ...".
It becomes incumbent on managers to know that those elements are well operating because the liability can be assigned as a result of both negligence & incompetence. That " should have known " is a tough standard.
I know this intimately because I was in management of a US multinational. We were reminded regularly what aspects could make us personally liable.
To be fair, prosecutors would not criminally charge the company, and throw me in jail if they were convicted.
They would indict me, too. We'd have to ask a lawyer if they could prosecute both defendants in the same trial.
Maybe in this hypothetical, I would get my own trial.
I know a guy who actually was convicted of an environmental offense. It was pretty egregious, but modest impact. He got fined big (had to take 2nd mortgage to pay the fine), and got 6 months probation. I don't recall if the company & he had separate trials. I looked up the info 6 or 7 years ago.
