Jeff Greenspan and Andrew Tider created Captured, a project that commissions illustrated portraits of CEOs who aren’t in prison but should be — drawn by actual prisoners.
“Corporations frequently commit crimes any average person would be imprisoned for,” write Greenspan and Tider. “These corporate crimes devastate our environment, economy, and society, yet the companies committing them often get away with only paying a settlement. These payouts do little damage to a corporation’s bottom line and are practically baked into their budgets.”
Subjects include the notorious Koch brothers and the current CEOs of GM, Duke Energy, and the former CEO of BP, Tony Hayward. When Hayward oversaw BP, the company was responsible for the deaths of 11 workers in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, as well as killing countless animals, causing economic damages in the billions, obstructing Congress, and securities fraud, according to Captured. Hayward was drawn by Benjamin Gonzalez, Sr., who is serving nine years for first and second degree robbery.
There’s also Ben van Beurden, current CEO of Shell, a company, according to the project’s website, guilty of causing over 1,000 oil spills in Nigeria since 2002, reckless endangerment, theft, and “human rights abuses including the torture and killing of environmentalists in Nigeria.” Beurden’s artist, Mitchell Hand, is serving 33 years for burglary and selling stolen goods.
Captured’s creators hope that the project will make people reconsider what companies they support, and what behavior they consider truly criminal: “By not supporting companies endangering our health and freedom, and by questioning a system that wields punishment so unevenly, we can stop being mute witnesses,” they write.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
