In a way they do. The courts can issue a winding up order against a company, typically, but not always, because it's bankrupt, ending the company.

It's not a very satisfying answer, but that's how it goes. A better ask might be "If corporations are people, I want to see one jailed".

Can say...a citizen who sues the company, start a winding up order after it can't pay them?

A citizen would ask the court to declare the company bankrupt and to issue a winding up order in order to distribute the business's remaining assets to those it owes money to.
