If you ask people that would still have 25+ years of life after they're freed, I bet a lot of them would willingly take that trade.

I don't think there exists an amount of money I'd take in exchange for 10 years in jail, at any point in my life. 10 years is a long time.

And sure, it depends on the jail... Can I like go for at least a short bike ride or go running? Can I have my computer and internet and Hacker News? Can I drink my oolongs and pu-erhs? Is the food delicious? But then it's not much of a jail anymore...

Nobody knows how long you will have to live, especially not if you spend 10 years in an average prison. But there is a limited time of being young.
