If your best friend, a person you respected deeply, was unjustly imprisoned, would you join them out of appreciation for them?

They say true friends will bail you out. But real friends will join you in. I won't practically. I'll find a way to help him instead. Unless you love being imprisoned.. :)
-
Join them in prison because they are unjustly imprisoned? Hell, no. And I would not expect my best friend to do it for me either. That's just stupid. I can appreciate them just fine from the comfort of my home. I'll be sure to write and send some dollars, but I won't visit and I won't join them. Um, also I don't think you can just check into prison like it's the Ritz...
-
I don't think you can book into a prison the way you can book into a hotel, so it's highly unlikely.
-
HEEEELLL NO! If s/he were a friend, s/he would understand. Is it a foreign prison?
-
No, i would fight the injustice until it was overturned ;0)
-
Join them inside? No way. But I will fight to right the injustice.
-
No. But I'd do my best on the outside to prove his/her innocence. I'd definitely fight for my friend, that's for sure, and I'd do more good on the outside than sitting in a prison cell keeping him company.
-
Screw that!
-
Lordy no! What good could I do sitting beside them?
-
I wouldn't join him inside, but I'd have no problem sprining him
-
No I wouldn't join them in prison. I would visit them.
-
A friend is someone who bails you out of jail but a true friend is one who sits in jail with you and says "damn, that was fun!"
-
Nope. It's not worth my own life. The military wouldn't approve of it either since they pay me.
-
I don't see how both of us being miserable helps my friend...so noooo.
-
The prisons here are a little over crowded, and that would not even be an option. However, my answer would be "Hell No!"
-
I'd stay free and work my ass off to get him out. (new trial, publicity, whatever I could do)
-
What would that accomplish exactly? Wouldn't I serve him/her better by actively pursuing his/her release? That could only be effected if I were out of jail, free of any constraint and doing my utmost to rectify the injustice. Quiety sitting beside my friend in jail as a sign of sympathy doing nothing doesn't seem the best course of action here. :)
-
I probably wouldn't be in the cell with him, but I sure would protest and make a lot of noise!
-
No. I'd free her. I would probably send her a hacksaw baked in a cake. :)
-
My best friend was, but no I wouldn't.
-
No, but I'd do everything in my power to get them a retrial and work an extra job to pay the lawyer if I had to.
-
Visit, means I can leave when I want... and thats what I'm sticking to : )
-
oh, if it was my bff...I would definately join her because she is so much fun....we would rock the joint.
-
Would my joining them in prison help them, I wonder..? Surely they would appreciate my help and respect more if I remained outside and drew attention to the injustice...
-
I think not :{ I would fight to correct the wrong with the system on the outside and visit often, to show my support :)
-
No I'd rather fight for their cause out of prison. Besides.....how could you help them if you were also imprisoned?
-
I don't know what good that would do. Far better to be on the outside and work for their release. The person I respect most in the world was unjustly imprisoned 6 times, the last in the US for 396 days. We never stopped working for his release.
-
Nah. Prison food is rarely good, and they probably wont feed gatecrashers anyway. Also I think I could do more good on the outside, finding out the rights of the matter and getting him freed.
-
No, but I would work my ass off to get her out.
-
Nope! They wouldn't want anyone else to suffer and they'd just be pissed if I did something to get my ass thrown in jail just to keep them company.
-
You know, this is weird but I might. It would give them a shoulder to lean on and give me an experience I hope never to have on my own account.
-
if i could i would
-
No, I am not a Turkish intellectual.
-
No. But I would do all I could to prove that they were innocent.... or just write them a lot.
-
No. What would that solve? Now.... that said.... if she was my girlfriend the might be benefits if we were in the same cell....
-
It would serve no useful purpose to join them in prison but I would try to show more appreciation for them and try to get them aquitted of the wrong doing if at all possible. I couldn't do that sitting in prison. :)
