sure, prison time for some criminal stuff is cool too.

i am more pushing back against the call for corporal punishment like caning

I have no moral objection, but it would just change the composition of CEOs as a group. Instead of just selecting for sociopaths, we'd start selecting for sociopaths with high pain tolerance.
