Poll: If you were in prison and you have evidence one of your fellow prisoners is planning an escape

[VeryOddGamer]

Well, it depends on a couple of things. 1. Why is he in prison? If he was framed or his sentence is way too long or if he really is a good citizen, I wouldn't tell the guards. 2. Could anyone know I said it? If there is a 100% chance that nobody will find out it was me, I'd tell them.

 

[VoidWanderer]

Do you inform a guard or do you keep quiet?
Btw there is no way this other prisoner can fit you into his plans so you will not be able to escape.

edit: I forgot please explain why you do what you do.

But then again, not enough information though.

What did escapee do?

 

[Gabanuka]

Elaborate please: What did the guy do and how many more years is he due?

 

[Daverson]

Let them escape.

If I'm in prison it's clear society has some kind of personal grievance with me, so why should I do anything to make their lives easier?

 

[BaronUberstein]

I'd inform a guard, discreetly.

Then again, I guess in a hypothetical where I'm in prison is either one where I'm in a foreign prison or have completely lost my values...so I don't know. Depends on the details.

 

[Rumpsteak]

Bargain for a reduced sentence of course. Staying alive for the duration of that sentence may be tricky but it is probably worth it.

 

[Jordi]

It probably depends on a lot of factors:
1) Do I think the escapees deserve it?
2) Do they pose a risk for society when they're out?
3) Will their escape endanger any people other than themselves?
4) What are their chances of escape?
5) What do I get out of snitching?
6) Will anyone know I did?
7) What do I think will happen to me if I snitched?
8) What will the other inmates (who are not escaping) think?

It seems that the risk is probably higher than the reward, so I'd have to feel especially brave to snitch.

 

[DaWaffledude]

Depends on what he did to get in there in the first place.

 

[Bloodtrozorx]

What do I look like over here? Jimmy the snitch? Frankie the squealer? No sir, I ain't no stool pigeon.

 

[Gardenia]

Bargain for a reduced sentence of course. Staying alive for the duration of that sentence may be tricky but it is probably worth it.

What kind of backwards, horrible country are you planning on doing hard time in?

 

[Badong]

I'll probably just shut my trap. If anything, I'll just let things take their course; if the would-be escapees cock-up, I get away without a sore arsehole and extended years in prison. If the prison escape does go as planned, I'll probably just wait the whole thing out in my cell and get away with Good Behavior (at least I hope so) and without the years of dodging the cops.

On the other hand, if I am an integral part of the escape, then NO! FREEEEEEEDOOOOOM!

 

[Dirzzit]

Snitches get stitches yo.

 

[Hazy992]

Fuck that I ain't no stitch. I'd rather not get shanked thank you very much!

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Stay out of it. Not my problem if he escapes and I'm not going to risk myself helping anyone who locked me up.

 

[Rumpsteak]

I assumed it was the country you're living in so that would be Northern Ireland. A happy place where even not too long ago a larger than desirable number of the police were interchangeable with the criminals.

 

[madster11]

Depends how long i'm in prison for.

<5 years, possible early parole, good behavior and shit?
Like a stool pigeon, *****.

25 years to life?
I won't tell if you take me with you.

 

[Durgiun]

Snitch a fellow prisoner? Uh, no thanks. What the guards would do to me isn't even one third as bad as what the prisoners would do to me.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

I would keep quiet.

In a prison, there will be far more inmates than guards. The inmates will inevitably be the ones that truly run the show. It is best to play by their rules, not those of the guards.

 

[Hunter65416]

Well I wouldnt join in..but I wouldn't say anything either..dont wanna get shanked

 

[gusenborge]

Depends on what's he's in for, if he is a convicted murderer i would make sure he stayed inside.
