If you are going to serve life in prison, would you run away?

The prudent members of our society who would be likely to receive such a, worse than death, sentence would have pre-planned their escape route, the financing and counterfeit documentation, ( passports etc,), all ready for immediate implementation if and when the necessity arose.

Smoking cigars, drinking pina coladas whilst beautiful bronze skinned Brazilian beauties rubbed suntan cream over your excited body would beat the hell out of breaking rocks at the State Penitentiary.

They can't give you more time for running away(or at least I don't think they can) so what do you have to lose by running away. I would prefer to live on the run instead of cooped up in jail.

Me too, mate. If I was looking at a life in the hoosgow I would bugger off quicker than shite through a bloody goose. Its easy to stay off the grid and even live a pretty decent life if you have even half a brain and are a bit resourceful. First thing to do is leave the country, of course. Mexico is good, and even the USA is a decent place to hide. Where I come from, England, is too small, and so is the rest of the UK. I'd sod off to the US first and then make me way down Mexico way, maybe get me a job bar tending at one of those Club Meds. Tourists always fancy a Brit barkeep, I'm told. Ha!

I'll run away, of course.

Because staying in prison forever is boring.

After that, I'll go join some criminal organisation that can value me.

It progressively gets easier.

That wouldn't kill you. Benzos would just leave you comatosed for a while.

No, I would work tirelessly to win a new trial or a commutation of my sentence, as well as take advantage of any programs for learning a trade or getting a degree. You don't give up when life throws a set back, you just try to do the best with what you've got.
