    Would you spend ten years in jail for 5 million euro??

    It's not a bad investment, when you look at it.

    500,000 per year

    Once your time is up, you have all that money

    so ?

    Well, if jail was like in Goodfellas, with the razor bladed garlic steaks and stuff, then yeah.

    But otherwise, nope.

    No.

    My freedom is immeasurable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    yea I would for sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila


    no I wont join your gang and do the job for you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,659 ✭✭✭Chaotic_Forces


    Technically I could buy my way to freedom so maybe.

    No stupid question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭poisonated


    If it was in an Irish prison, I would. Wouldn't do it in a Turkish prison though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    Would your family have access to the money while you're in prison or would you just get a lump sum on release day?

    I'd do that, a year isn't too bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I might be willing to be locked up in solitary for 5 years but tbh the idea of spending any amount of time in prison with other prisoners is actually more offputting to me than the idea of losing my freedom itself.

    Or, in other words...

    Would you have your ass penetrated for 10 years for €5,000,000?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,239 ✭✭✭✭KeithAFC


    Sure.

    Mars bars, crisps, Sky TV, Pool table, newspaper. Then 5 million euros at the end of it. Happy days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,864 ✭✭✭Daegerty


    Works out at about 57e per hour, even while you sleep.

    Considering you do basically **** all. doesn't seem too bad.

    Would prefer if they'd give it to me now and I go to jail at 80 when I retire


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Oh i thought it was for 5 years, no its a bit too long. I'm not doing it

    ^^ these are just some of the many things that will be shoved up your rectum during your stay.

    You could just become a prison officer.

    Nah I think you'll be wearing lipstick by the end of the week more like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,408 ✭✭✭Captain_Generic


    Fúck that, money isn't everything, think of all the experiences you'd miss over the ten years that you can't just buy when you get out


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    No.

    My freedom is immeasurable.

    But it's worth more than €5 million....

    +1

    But in reality you would probably be locked up in Mountjoy and become addicted to heroin and have an arséhole like the flag of Japan.

    €5m for 10 years of that? No way!

    Can i be your bitch?:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    I will be 35 when i get out of prison. So it wouldnt really be worth it, i wont be able to enjoy it like i would now plus i would probably become institutionalized locked up. All my mates would of grown up and "matured" and i probably be stuck with ex con mates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭Rhamiel


    Yup,
    Write some poetry, do some artwork, get ripped in the gym... sure some people would pay 5 mill for the time to do all that :D


    P.s Get 30% of your sentence knocked of for good behaviour ;) :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,614 ✭✭✭ArtSmart


    No.

    funny. mine comes in around the five mil.

    em...

    The price of liberty = working til you're 60-67 yr old. (that's a 40 yr sentence)

    viva la freedom!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    so for 500,000 a year :rolleyes: whereas I could work like fecker in college and the likes and get a really good job hopefully for maybe 70-80k a year...

    10 years in jail and you'd have lost most of your friends... I'd have missed the best years of my life... you'd spend the 5 million fairly fast anyway's I'd say so it's be 10 years gone in your life....

    and I haven't even though about the showers in jail yet....

    50 million now your starting to make a half way decent argument....

    No, knowing my luck hyperinflation would've set in while I was in the slammer.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,112 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    No, I don't really care about money as long as I can get by, would much rather my free time and doing things I want to do.

    If it was an Irish prison you'd be out in 4 years probably :pac:

    No, tax man would probably get most of it when I got out! :mad:

    You could probably live off the interest of €5m for the rest of your life. I haven't done the maths but you'd probably do less time in 10 years of prison than you would working for 40/45 years. So for someone in there 20's it might be worth it from a time perspective. Saying that after 10 years in prison you lose a lot more than just the time spent in there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Little Acorn


    No.
    I wouldn't for any amount of money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 558 ✭✭✭Metallitroll

    Will it count towards my current sentence?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 424 ✭✭d.anthony


    I think a lot of people doing ten year stretches would PAY €5,000,000 to get out if they had it.
