3 Years in the general population of a maximum security prison or 10 years under house arrest but you absolutely couldn’t go more than one foot outside of your house and you could not have any guests or live with your family.
In the prison you would have the rights of a prisoner, at home you could receive unlimited phone calls but would not be able to use the internet or watch cable or satellite television.
Read and chat on the phone at home for ten years or get anally raped in a prison? I’ll take the house arrest.
10 years of solitary confinment with absolutely nobody else in the house? How would I get my food? Would I be able to read books? Play on my computer? And what’s the deal with the no internet thing?
A week’s supply of food would be delivered to you every week…you could read any books that were already in your house…you could play any game you already owned that doesn’t require you to go online…and no internet because it’s just one more luxury that a prisoner on house arrest shouldn’t have.
Oh yeh and yes, SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.
Considering I own only one computer game and only about fifteen books, none of which are all that captivating, I think I’d chance three years in a maximum security prison. It sounds like I’d have more oppurtunity at having some form of entertainment there although I have no idea what inmates are allowed.
Plus, it’s seven years less time. Ten years of no human contact other than through a phone or some person dropping groceries at my doorstep would be too much, even as someone who is pretty introverted and vaguely anti-social.
Feh, I’ll take three years prison. I’ll bite the pillow and take it up the ass to get my freedom back. Probably wind up joining a supremacist group to keep my ass protected as much as possible.
Then again I am 6’1" 200lbs, so I’m not EXACTLY bottom of the food chain either.
House Arrest, without a doubt.
That is assuming I can have my guitars, banjo, mandolin and studio gear. I sit around playing 4-5 hours a day anyway - it’d be the ultimate woodshed.
And if i can’t have any instruments, I’ll take Prison Bitch for $200, Alex. At least I’ll be out in three years.
I’ll take prison, and I’ll bite it off OZ style if I have too!
I’ll take prison if Martha is cooking for me.
If you commit a crime that gives you three years in maximum security, you really have to wonder wether such a person can be held in an ordinary home.
Maximum security vs ten years, no comparison, maximum security means maximum protection for inmates as well, anal rape would be highly unlikely.
Numbers of inmates allowed to congregate are tightly controlled, you do not have any time in any privacy, you are walked everywhere with two warders and usually a dog handler.
You guys dont really understand the concept of maximum security prison, its very unlikely someone on three years is going to be considered a high enough risk to justify maximum security measures, this would be reserved for mafia bosses, terrorists, multiple murderers and other very serious offences, you get considerably more than three years for these.
I’d take 3 years in prison. It’s 7 years more freedom.
I’d take the 3 years in prison. I would get 7 years more freedom that way.
depends. can i smoke at home? how bout in max. security prison?
3 years in MS, definitely. Not only is that seven more years of complete freedom, but having been an inmate in MS gives you better street credibility, and a better chance at a book deal.
What?
I realize it’s just a hypothetical question, but you guys do know people don’t get sentenced to maximum security right? The judge says you’re going to prison and then the prison system decides what type of security you’re going to need based on your profile.
Three years in prison.
I would like to request the one with ccwaterback and Martha please.
I’d take the 3 years. Three years is a much smaller impact on my life (and thus more forgettable) than ten years. Ten years cooped up at home would be horrible- the only time I want to spend a huge amount of time at home is when I am exhausted and stressed out from work/school. But when I have lots of free time (like summer vacation, for example) I get very restless and want to go out and do things.
It is a drag having friends who all work full-time jobs, because while I am off for a huge chunk of time during the summer, they still have to work, which gives me relatively little to do. Spending ten years under house arrest would just be a continuous version of that. I’d rather take my licks for 3 years, maybe develop a buffed-up prison physique 
and get on with my life than waste 10 years of an already tentative lifespan :eek:
Ten years masturbating, or three years fucking people up the ass? Three years, please.
