Would you go to jail for your best friend/significant other?

Question

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

I don't think I would but it depends what it is. Of course I don't have a close friend that I love very much right now. I did have one close friend that I loved but she cut me out of her life without explanation after 16 years. For her - I might have been willing to face jail time but not if it meant doing something unethical. For example if we had a corrupt government that wanted to jail me for buying her food when she is starving - I would probably risk jail time for her but I would not rob a bank to help her pay the bills or kill somebody to defend her reputation if she was being slandered etc...

If they committed a crime , i wouldn't do their time. They'd have to face the consequences of their own actions. I wouldn't have my own freedom taken away to give them theirs

But if someone i love was murdered and there was no justice , i'd seek my own kind of justice, even if it meant i went to prison for life

potatoismee · Accepted Answer

I don't think I will if it's something they've done. Everyone should bear the consequences of their own actions.

Pamina · Accepted Answer

For what crime and for how long?

FriendlyDrugDealer · Accepted Answer

It depends on what they did and how close we are.

Most likely I’ll go to jail WITH my friends because we tend to dumb shit here and there and most of the time I’m with them, either a look out or apart of it.

But if I know I have a better chance fighting the charges then them then yeah I’ll take the fall

If my best friend were u, i would !!!

weiguy · Answer

Thats retarded. If the person you care about lands you in such a situation, they didn't deserve your love in the first place. If you accept it, you're a delusional self destructive idiot who probably has so little to live for that you are pathetic enough to feel good about yourself for taking the fall for your "friend".

bikerboyrva · Answer

Depends on what it is. You need money & want to rob someone? Emphatically, "no." Someone hurt you? Hold my beer...

abyssaudrey2 · Answer

Yes. If we're speaking in terms of self-defense, I'd bash another person's head in just to defend them in a situation where even the police couldn't possibly intervene on time.

Jeffreeyy · Answer

Well, I tried to grab my drunk friend out of the police car while also being very drunk. In no time I got tackled by 4 police officers.. Yes, I spend the night in jail..

Futurerocky · Answer

Is that Barney Stinson? Lol going to jail for your best friend is the dream. Seriously I would apparently jail is awesome and he fucking loves jail according to Ricky from trailer park boys. I would go to jail for my girl apparently guys in jail are hot and I will get way stronger and ripped.

TheNoOne · Answer

Nope I doubt it it’s not my shit to deal with. If they did the crime then they do the crime. I know media like glamorizing it but it’s probably a lot worse than that prison break included.

zoe2187 · Answer

I would. He wouldn’t want me to though. If it had to happen in order to keep my family safe I would without question.

BoshoM · Answer

Will raise hell for them, done it b4 & will do it again without blinking

JonnyTrauma · Answer

Yeah for my loved ones I would do terrible things if anyone hurt them. So in answer to your question jail is a maybe only if I got caught. If you aren't willing to anything for your loved ones then you don't love them enough

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Not out of solidarity and for petty stuff. Also not where it touches the '10 commandments' (not religiously, but regarding the real severe transgressions). In the remaining grey-zone I may take chances. Tax, Immigration, traffic, and such)

lilJoJo23 · Answer

It would depend on the situation.. And who its for family yeah I'll go down for.. but anything life I would expect them to come forward and cop to they own shit.. now Friend's they already know you did it you go down... and as for my significant other everything and anything so long as it was for us or to help us yeah

ak667 · Answer

Best friend, no. Wife, maybe. I might be willing to risk going to jail to protect both, but if going to jail is a guarantee, maybe only my wife could warrant such a sacrifice.

AhmedTefa · Answer

I'd defend my friend but still if he has done something horrible then I won't be able to defend him I'll be at a disadvantage and also he'll need to take responsibility for his crime and if it isn't then why not?

ReachingForNirvana · Answer

I really don't like the idea of breaking the law. I would only do it if I was totally forced and had no other choice.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends. Like my sister did 2 months for her husband but then his job required a clean record and if she didn't they'd have no money. Plus although he committed the crime she was more than willing to reap the benefits.

Partywithtom · Answer

Depends on the situation mostly but if it was a weekend or maybe a month in jail I probably do it any longer than that it would have to be a very interesting situation for me to consider taking that punishment.
