With falling cost of launch, there seems an opportunity to have a program to clean up orbital debris, funded by insurance premiums for orbits that don't self clean (like GEO).

At least of the bigger debris.

Boeing should be forced to clean up the mess they made on their dime, or it's prison for the execs.

We are far too light on execs causing irreparable harm to humanity.

Maybe a bit confused - paying for damages is a civil/contract matter. Jail is for crimes committed by a person.

The parent comment explained some reasonable contractual mechanisms for civil remedy - insurance etc.

Things can be both - insurance fraud jumps to mind, for example. You have to make the insurance company whole (they sue you in civil court) and you have to stand trial for your alleged crime (you're arraigned in criminal court).
