If you went to jail for life
 

would you really want your life spared? Even if you were innocent.

I always hear about people getting life in prison and doing everything they can to spare their lives.

Not me. Seriously. Send the voltage. Only so much basketball and crowded showers I can take.

What exactly happened in Asia with you :)
WG

I am now the "enlightened one."

:)

is that what they call it over there

Hopefully I would never find out....I have been told I have a nice tight ass :uhoh

Gas Chamber

I've been hearing the stuff about Peterson and apparently the cell, treatment, etc. he gets on death row is better than in gen pop. And like you said, I'd rather die than live in jail for the rest of my life.

I guess they want life in jail on the chance they will be exonerated.

I agree with you

That is the case that spawned this post. But honestly, it seems to always happen.

They fight for life in prison.

IF I went to jail for LIFE..... Hell no. I'd want to have fun with it. I'd fuck with everyone I could.

i'd be the village slut

Im sure if you went to jail, realistically you would do all you could to survive.

What a depressing thought :(

That's 99% of the torture, making you think you have a chance....

#1 - It's not like if you are on death row you get bolted a week later ... depending on what state you may be there for the rest of your life. And life on death row is far worse than anywhere else (try living in a block with guys who literally have nothing to lose by stealing your cheesecake!)

#2 - Basketball will be the one activity you'll enjoy.

#3 - Any life is better than no life. Ok, almost any life.

But I gotta agree, life in prison would seriously suck, innocent or not, death row or general population. Suck.

Hell nah . I'd rather die

What do you know about deathrow exactly ?

Ever been there ? heard stories about people in there ?

The people in there are WAY more controlled . I wouldn't like to be in the normal jungle . Deathrow must be cheezecake next to this . Very little people are in it anyways

Trust me! If you are facing death! Life behind bars doesn't seem that bad! Human being can get used to anything given enough time!:2 cents:

No, i'd rather die!

i would learn how to suck my own dick.

yup it's human nature, the will to survive

I'd want to fight it and hopefully get it overturned. Can always hang yourself in the cell if you get life and cant get the case thrown out on appeal.

i'd goto jail for life and just learn a bunch of stuff. jails are like criminal schools in a way.

Peterson isnt on death row, he has yet to be sentenced. And if/when he is on death row how would anything be better? Death row inmates spend 23 hours a day in a small cell usually without any type of window and no darkness, meaning lights are on 24 hours a day. Sounds like wonderful treatment to me.

yup , Id make the best of it...if I was on death row...Id want a computer and some paint and canvas...a radio...I could be somewhat content for the situation

prison wouldnt bee too bad if you liked anal

People get falsely convicted all the time. Especially in a high profile murder case like Peterson's.. and one where a pregnant women was the victim none-the-less.

The former governer of Illinois recently conducted clemency hearings on all death row inmates after 12 inmates were exonorated in one year. After finding that a sufficiently large number of defences were able to introduce reasonable doubt in their trials he commuted all sentences.

The investigations are usually rushed. People have promotions and jobs on the line. There's a lot of pressure to solve the case. Juries feel a duty to deliver justice to the family of the victim.

Prosecutors are supposed to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant committed murder, but human emotion usually gets in the way of the verdict.

I don't have an opinion on Scott Peterson. I don't believe that he's innocent nor guilty, since I didn't follow the case. But of course he'd want to cling to any chance that new evidence will surface that will exonorate him... or new revelations such as a biased jurer or what-not.

And who knows .. maybe he is innocent..

If they would allow internet in my jailcel it would not be so bad.
Would not be a big change for most people out here.
:2 cents:

I agree. Rather die by voltage than gangbang.

I think I would definately prefer life in prison to no life.

canadian prisons are much better in style and opportunities.

if I had life, it would be spent getting further education - then see how much I can work on parole. remember, just because they give you life, doesnt mean you cant get parolled - yet you dont have the decision as to whether you want to die or not, just feel its giving up hope - hell you maybe the one who figures out how to break out !!

I'm not sure. But if I get ass action I rather be dead.

I'm not aware of any prisons offering in-cell internet.:)

Minimum security ones might, but I doubt the max ones do.

Hell, they don't even get smokes anymore do they?

Its more expensive to do life than it would be for the death penalty.


I would say kill me (if in fact i was guilty) since I would hate to overstay my welcome.

Fuck That, Give me the chamber or some shit, would way rather be put out of my misery sooner than later.

Depends, America or Holland.

I'd take life. I'd probably start reading a lot and writing as well. It would be very boring and I could see myself going crazy, but I would try to make the best of my time.

I'd break out of jail and live in Algeria with the Black Panthers.
