10 year sentence

[2-0-Sixx]

Today for some reason I was reminded of the movie 25th hour with Edward Norton and I was thinking about the decision he had to make at the end of the movie.

If you were sentenced to 10 years in prison, would you go or would you try to run? Lay low in the states or try and make it in a different country?

My apologies if this topic has already been discussed.

At my age, to come out as a 29 year old without shit to show for shit, unable to get a good job because of whatever felony record, and the majority of my youth wasted in jail... no way.

I'd flee to europe or some shit.

10 years aint bad.. you could probably get out on parole in 7 and get my life together.. but if I knew I was gonna get life in prison or something, Id rather go out shooting.

i'll judt do the time...i'd rather do the the 7 to 10 then be on the run for the rest of my life. having to watch your back every second of your life is not worth it. and it not like you can go to college or have a meaningful career.

^^^ thats real talk...when i saw da movie i was kinda trippin off his decision.. he was young so he woulda still came out with hella years left on his life ...... i would do the time...but feel me some people wont make it .... like in da movie he was some lil scrawny pretty boy...he woulda prolly gotten fucked up in there.

My bad if I read your shit wrong, but his decision in the film was to go to jail.

 

[proppa]

id take off. if you dont at least try thats a waste of 10 years.

 

[Ironic Commando]

id take off if i got like 25 to life...fuck that 10 year shit. not worth it.

Psycho Logic, 10 years IS a long time...think back 10 years, now imagine all the shit you've gone thru since then, and imagine spendin all that time wakin up in a cell everyday at a certain time and havin no freedom whatsoever.

lol thats true, even as a convicted felon you'd be one of a kind...they'd have to give you some kind of high paying job as interpreter.

 

[ConnDemned]

I'd probably do the time, in 10 years you could sit and get yourself all kinds of degrees and shit and come out and be a judge on tv.

I'd get myself a whole library (within regulation) of Arabic, French & Spanish books. .

You better find some duck tape aswell.

I'd get myself a whole library (within regulation) of Arabic, French & Spanish books. Walk out of there speaking 4/6 of the UN official languages, and in a GREAT position to re-integrate myself.

Damn, if you can learn languages like that, then I give you major props. I tried to learn Spanish in school and even with the classroom exercises I could not communicate that well. However, after an extended stay in Mexico, I improved quite a bit. I wish I had started learning early in life before my brain got set in its ways (or before killing too many brain cells in my first few years in school).

were you studying abroad? how many weeks?

Dereks right, i was on the verge of forgetting a lot of Spanish i learned over the years and was starting to suck at it but going abroad made me improve drastically. Something just clicks when you're put into the environment.
