If you went to prison for a long time would you join a gang and kill someone or would you risk your life?

I would if I wouldn't go to jail.

Well I wouldn't unstrap myself unless my own life was at risk or for another good reason. You would not be a murderer, possibly manslaughter because you didn't choose to kill the boy. You would be the victim too because this would hvae been done against your will. You could call it unlawful imprisonment.

I would stay.  He's been to court and has served his jail time.\nMost likely, this was a crime of passion.  I really doubt he would kill anyone else.

I would stand and fight because if I was to run I would be running for ever, but by going to prison for 10 years even if innocent  I would be freeing myself in the end. stay get punished for only 10 years run and you will get punished for life

I don't agree with kids being housed in adult prisons; however I am concerned with young violent criminals being housed with kids. If you have a kid which killed for any reason how can you justify putting him in a cell or housing unit with a kid in for tagging. The system has to protect the wrong doers even from themselves.

The rapist/child molester would most likely be in more danger since most cops gone bad usually go to a different kind of prison just because the system knows that if they go to a regular prison their lives would be taken shortly thereafter.

It depends...  If my neighbor were trying to kill people or rape his daughter, I would probably force my morals on him and try and stop him.

I have gone both ways on different occasions, but I think I am ultimately against it.  I don't think it is a deterrent, like if a person has the mindset necessary for committing murder, they aren't thinking of the consequences and will commit murder anyway.  Also, many people get wrongly convicted and I shudder to think how many of them were sentenced to death.

You don't. You would get caught sooner or later, the feds would see to that. You would then get prison time and a Dishonorable Discharge which will follow you your entire life. Do your time, get discharged honorably, and then move on with your life.

They commit crimes because they are too lazy and/or too stupid to work for what they want.  They feel that they should have everything they want, and not have to wait to get it.  A gang of them with weapons will attack one person with no weapons, and they think that makes them tough.  People of any age that commit crimes are just low-lifes, and really should be treated that way.

How can it not?\nInside they have their own laws, and I do not mean prison laws.\nTo live you obey them, if not you could very well end up dead.\nIt is sad to say but some of our prisons are run by the gangs inside them.\nThe prisoners behind bars have it so good any more that prison is no deterrent to crime at all.

What difference would there be? Violent career criminals will continue to be released back into society to make room for nonviolent first-time offenders like deadbeat dads (how do you pay child support in prison?), drunk drivers with multiple misdemeanor convictions (but no accidents), recreational marijuana users caught with a single joint in their possession, scam artists who prey on the wealthy, etc. Whoever builds them, prisons should be for the long-term incarceration of major drug dealers, robbers, rapists, and murderers in order to protect society from these violent sociopaths.

My ex is in prison for 15 years for attempted strangualation and domestic battery. He hurt me really bad and left me on the floor bleeding to death. My daughter found me and called 911.\n\nAnyone in this situation PLEASE get out or get help. I never in my life would have thought he would ever go that far.. it was always "oh, he just hit me on my arm or a little on my face." I never had him try and kill me before then all of a sudden he just snapped.

I would be very willing to kill the s.o.b.\n\nIt would be difficult to not take it upon myself.\n\nI would take it upon myself to make him pay,  whether or not he was arrested, if he did as you said, I would make his life a living hell. Only for a short time.  Sawing off his extremities while he was alive would be retribution in my opinion. : ) Have a great day everyone! LOL

YES if i thought for one second they were going to hurt me and people yes i would. the bible says though shalt not kill and in self defense it is different because it is not murder. now if there was a way of not doing it sure i would perfer that but if i had to dont think i wouldnt. i would do it in a heart beat cause if i dont kill them then they will kill me.

It is a deterrent.\n\nor\n\nIt is cheaper than keeping those folks in prison for life\n\nor\n\nEye-for-eye, they should 'pay' for their crime with something equal like their life.
