If someone offered you a lot of money, ie 100k, to take the blame for a crime which you didn't commit, serve the sentence, get the criminal record but when you come out of prison you have 100k to start a new life?

The sort of crime I'm talking about is man slaughter. So you could serve 5 years or more, but not sure exactly.

I couldn't do it for no amount of money i don't think.

£100k would be nowhere near enough to start a new life with manslaughter hanging over your head.

And no anyway, to any amount of time.

same here.....

Would have to be a massive amount of money to be away from my kids for that long..... £5m would be a nice sacrifice, would be hard missing out on a portion of their lives but afterwards we would have a much better quality of life and they'd get everything they could ever want

Yeah would need to be millions. If i did 4 years inside i'd loose money.

But yeah say 10 million and yeah, why not. I'd ask them to put it in a high interest account before i went inside, 10 years later come out and have 11 million.

Considering how easy they get it in prison thesse days.

And my cousin has been in an out since he was a kid and says its easier to get drugs in there than it is out here.

And considering we have to work and worry about money and lots of other things where as in mates dont.

it cant be all that bad

at people who would go to jail for 10 years for a measley 10mil.

I wouldn't consider it for a start because no matter how easy our jails are I still wouldn't want to be there but 10mil would be a tiny fraction of what they'd have to offer me.

100k isnt exactly much money when you consider that when you get out the only job you'd get is flipping burgers. It isnt really even a life changing ammount for a lot of people these days either.

Id do it for 10 million,you could live comfortably off the interest your whole life without spending a penny of the 10 million.

That guy who got sent to prison for something he didnt do only got a 120k for 10 years in prison now thats a bum deal.

I wouldn't do it basicly. Also you'd get totally screwed and all your money taken when you get caught...

The people saying that they would earn more through work need to think that while in prison they wont be paying rent/bills/insurances/tax/shopping/going out etc which you would be paying if you was working.
