Lets say you had the choice.
Life behind bars with no possibility of parole/appeal anything like that.
I personally think id chose death.
Hopefully none of us will ever be facing the former but im sure theres pros and cons to both.
What do ya guys think.
-
Just kill me. Prison is not life.
-
Death. Its like being a dog tied up outside. There's no purpose but to waist air at that point.
-
In reality, I'd go for death.
But in my mind, I would go for life, spend 5 years planning an escape and then disappear forever! And then, if they caught me again, I would go for death...
-
Death, I suppose, but only because it would be so difficult to have to kill myself when I'd had enough. In the U.S. capital punishment is not the most pleasant way to go out... though neither is hanging by a cheap shoe lace, really.
-
I would go with life and then spend my time plotting ways to escape so that I could strap on a suicide vest and run into the DEA headquarters and give them death sentences.
-
I don't know. It would depend if I could spend most of my time in my cell, and what I could do in there. Could I read books? Was the food ok? Could I get extra food? Could I have a TV or Playstation?
It would also depend on how much I was exposed to other prisoners and how paranoid I was about being attacked / raped/ shanked. Also depend on how the guards were...
With a bit to keep me occupied and some half decent food, I could be convinced to stay alive in the cell.
But if all the prisoners were trying to attack me, I couldn't stay in my cell, I was celled up with others etc.. I'd prefer death
-
Life and then just keeping trying to escape :)
-
It really depends on which country the sentence is to be served in. Some countries like Norway have hotel-standard prisons with libraries etc, but if I would have to serve in some shit prison in Congo or something I'd probably want to kill myself.
-
Lol @ the people talking about trying to escape. You would regret that choice and be able to ecscape. After your first attempt you would be on close security level as long as they don't shoot you.
-
That's a tough one. Getting strapped to the gurney while they pump you full of sodium pentathol seems like a really undignified way to die. i think I would choose life, only because waiting around on death row for your execution seems so much worse than actually being dead. But then again, I've only spent all of 1 day in jail, so I wouldn't really know about how bad life in prison could be.
-
This all really depends on the amount of raping and molesting that I would have to experience.
I'm happy to sit in my mind thinking and creating ideas. Too happy really, ha! Need to act more....
-
Life without parole. You can't lock up the mind, it is always free! I remember a quote from Malcolm X about his time in prison. He said he was more free than he had ever been while incarcerated, because he did nothing but read and study!

Pretty much this. If I would be relatively safe while in prison, I'd go for the life without parole. Otherwise, fuck it, I wouldn't want to spend the majority of my life in a prison where I had to watch my back every single second.

Unless I can pull a Shawshank Redemption...I'd rather die.
