How many years would you spend in prison for 1 million dollars?

Question

The maximum. I've never been to jail, but I think I could do 5 years for a million.

Answer 1

One.

Answer 2

You would trade 5 years of freedom for one million dollars? No house, car, wife/husband, kids, McDonalds (or your favorite restaurant), TV (heck any sort of electronic entertainment), the ability to do what you want with your life none of that exists in jail.

It’s just you, the cell, and the guards oh and don't forget the other inmates, some of which would just as soon see you killed than look at you. I would not willingly spend a moment in jail for anything. I'd rather be broke and free, than a millionaire in jail...and I'm pretty sure many of those infamous executives feel the same way right about now.

Answer 3

I don't think a million dollars will buy you as much happiness as you think. It would certainly be nice to have that much dropped in my lap, but it might not really be that life changing -it's not really even enough to retire on.

Besides, I'd rather be a homeless, penniless beachcomber enjoying the sun and the waves than to be rotting away in prison for five years. Time is the only true commodity - the older you get, the more you realize that.

Still, if the amount were $10 million, or $50 million, I might have to re-evaluate . . .

Answer 4

I don't think I would do that at all. As great as a million dollars sounds, I wouldn't want to waste a single year of my life. Besides, prison sounds horrible!

Answer 5

Are we talking maximum security or county lock-up? Because I wouldn't spend a day in a federal prison, but I could do a couple months in something lower key.

Answer 6

my betting is maximum 5 min.

Answer 7

0...no money in the world is risking my life over.

Answer 8

not a single day
