The judge has sentenced you to 20 years in life for a crime you're innocent of. 15 years later the court found out you're innocent and decided to let you go, they award you with 25,000 dollars.

How would you feel knowing your whole life was wasted for nothing? Missing out on all the important things in life with family and friends? You went through all of that for 25k and 15 years you'll never get back.

Being awarded $1,666.66 per year is pretty low. I would be upset about that kind of payout.

Ya gotta just move on and try and make the best of the rest of your life. No point wasting that as well by dwelling on bitterness and regret.

I would probably try to commit suicide if I got convicted for 20 years.

I'd push for more money. It's the only thing I can do to make it more worth it, even though nothing will ever make it totally worth it

C'mon man don't say things like that. Yea I can understand it leaving a severe psychological effect on you but suicide isn't the answer.

I'd end it all tbh.

What's the fucking point. I'd have likely lost my soon to be wife, and everything I owned that I fought so hard to gain. Fuck that.

With 25K you could buy a car- become an uber driver and meet a new and improved wife.

Im waaay too skinny for prison. My only 2 options for prison are immediately kill myself or immediately try to kill the toughest guy there. Ill die before I get the nickname "cum dumpster"

No prison could hold me, I'd break out well before the 20 years were up.

The only people in prison are those who want to be there, anyone who truly desires freedom can achieve it.

Good point. I saw a documentary on german prisons as well, they're basically nice apartments and they let people re-integrate into society (leave prison) increasingly often as their sentence comes to a close. IIRC there were people in there for murder.

I'm of the opinion that life in prison is worse than death. I have no desire to live in a cage surrounded by violent criminals with every aspect of my life being controlled by someone else.

That sounds like torture to me. I'd rather just end my existance.

Nothing would ever make it okay.

Time is something you can never pay back. The world moved on without you. You'll be lost at what has changed in the intervening years and knowing that you lost it for nothing would only cut deeper.

I think about this a lot since I'm obsessed with going to prison. It's like my number one fear in life.

This. Fuck prison/jail.

If 100% of the people in jail/prison were justifiably there it'd be one thing, but stuff like the scenario presented in the OP are the reason why the justice system in this country can go fuck itself.
