Yes, I’m glad his life is good now, but that’s not a trade-off I’d make voluntarily! I’ve heard that life in prison can lower your lifespan considerably. I know one of the West Memphis Four had serious health issues when he was finally released. Money is nice, and I wouldn’t turn it down, but I wouldn’t accept it in advance for many possible scenarios. ---

I wouldn’t want to live in any big city, and I never want to live in Florida ever again nor would I live in Texas. I wouldn’t want to live in any mountains - I like proximity to the coast. Honestly, I can’t think of any place other than where I am that I would prefer, altho a waterfront estate on the Chesapeake Bay might tempt me. ---

Yeah the answer is completely different if it’s “Would you go to prison…” rather than having to live in Texas. ---

But the answer to both can still be, “not for all the money in the world.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-there-any-cities-regions-of-the-us-that-you-wouldnt-move-to-regardless-of-the-money/1001202.md?page=8)
