If you and your best friend were imprisoned

doodo!doodo!
edited July 2011 in General Chat
If you and your best friend were imprisoned and the term was 40 years each, and your friend arranged for your freedom at the expense, that he/she must serve both your terms, and you are both innocent. Would you take your freedom or stay in imprison with your friend?You've both been set up, and some how it works out that your friend's sacrifice of severing both terms can set you free.
Your friend is in imprison for 80 years or you stay with your friend in prison of 40 years?

If not friend, substitute friend for brother, sister, wife, husband...

    My best friend huh.
    It depends on whether we were in the same prison...

    Same cell wouldn't be so bad.
    I'd definatly spend more time with the guy than I do anyway.

    Would be pretty fun.
    We'd just talk and goof around.

    I'd probably still take my sentance as an act of honour.

    Err... if we were innocent, then I'd lose faith in the justice system.

    I'll take neither of the options, I'm not staying in prison for 40 years!
    I would make an elaborate and overly complicated escape plan and break us both out of the prison. We'd have a plane waiting for us once we got over the wall and be in some South American country long before the prison guards even notice we're gone.
    Then it's just a matter of roaming the open seas and drink beer for the rest of our lives.

    One of us out of prison has a chance to dig something up to prove our innocence. Both of us in prison don't stand much of a chance. Besides, in this cruel society that imprisons innocent people, they probably all die after a couple years in prison anyway, so 40 versus 80 years doesn't really matter.

    I would go.... it would be hard but my desire to be free with my wife and children would be too strong to fight.

    I'd honestly probably would be the one who sacrifices myself for the other, though secretly I'd wish that I could stay in the other's company for the whole term.

    I would go free, study to be a lawyer, and then get my friend free.

    Okay, that's a cheap answer. Disregard it.

    I'd get the hell out of there. I'm too pretty for jail!

    On a more serious note, having one of us be out of prison makes it easier to potentially win the other's freedom as well, so, yeah.

    Wouldn't take it... but I'd be selling my soul for a fancy lawyer to get us both out!

    I would stay, I could not live with a guilty conscience knowing my friend/family member is taking the fall for something we are both innocent of. Even if he is doing it willingly.

    Hell no! I'd take my forty years, thank you very much! Do you know how much I'd owe him for that? Jesus, he'd never let me forget it! For example...

    Me: This ice cream is great.
    Him: It was.
    Me: You finished yours?
    Him: Yup. Now can I have yours?
    Me: What? No!
    Him: I served your forty years.
    Me (handing over ice cream): You son of a b--.

    See? No good!
