Which would you rather do


Our english class always has a would you rather segment before class starts and I brought this up. Figured I'd ask here and see what you guys say.

Edit: Should mention that you don't know the sentence of the prisoners you release, the people that get released are random. You don't know how long they've been in jail or why.

I voted on releasing the prisoners. For the person who voted to send the person to jail, why?

Better to give people a second or third chance depending on their circumstances than to condemn an innocent man to prison.

Release the prisoners, but keep an extra eye on the violent ones.

You guys are fucking dumb.

They're random. You could be letting loose 100 convicted rapists, serial killers, gang members, child molesters, etc.

The odds of you releasing 100 innocent do-goody guys is nonexistant.

So I'll gladly send one poor dude to jail and tell him I'm sorry, than having to apologize for releasing terror on hundreds or possibly thousands of people.

1 person in jail for a crime he didnt commit is 1 too many imo.

Assuming the 100 prisoners are truly randomly chosen, there's a good chance there'll be a few innocent people you'll release too.

They could be in for petty larceny, maybe got into a fight with someone in public etc etc. Also what if they were about to finish their sentence and got released a week early? I feel like most people have a very skewed perception of what people in prison are like.

They've been recorded in the prison system and law enforcement so of course.

Release the prisoners

I couldn't knowingly sentence an innocent man to life in jail.

Again, probabilities say there's an increased chance of releasing several bad people than actually freeing innocent ones.

Weight that against ONE poor dude, and the choice should be obvious for anyone who's not selfish and/or self righteous.

We're not talking innocent here

We're talking about those in prison for crap like marijuana and other things that shouldn't be prisonable or jailable offense

And please give us the statistics and do your own research since you seem to know so much on this subject matter about the prison population and the crimes convicted and/or committed

In that case, you can be the 1 innocent person that goes to jail :>

I wonder how the answer changes if the person that gets sent to jail is someone you know or is from your family or a friend

there's a good chance that a large number of them were jailed for smoking weed or something else that's harmless
