    That's like the 4th word in the first sentence? You expect us to read that far?

    Internet-16
    Puppy-6
    Fast Food-4
    HD Camera-3
    Gun-1

    30 points

    I would set up my camera and record me shooting the puppy with my gun, upload the video to the Internet & proceed to eat fast food till I die.

    Your stock option at the end is a total waste. You had 28 points up to that point. You could have just added something else for 2 points and ended up with 30 points and 10 million. Instead, you took 5 million dollars...and if you are lucky with the stock trading, you'll end up with 10 million when you come out...and that's if you do well.

    You're much better off taking the 10 million and extra 2 points.

    Okay, I will change some answers that I had previously based on stuff that Im seeing you guys suggest.

    Here is my new list, going for the 5 million dollar option:

    6 pts. Kitchen (Learn to be a great cook, eat healthy, and use ingredients for hygiene products).

    2 pts. Medical (Almost purely for the human interaction...and in the small chance I'd need them. I wouldnt upgrade though).

    7 pts. TV (Need my source of entertainment, tv shows, news, and Houston sports).

    2 pts. Skylight (Absolutely needed...anyone who is leaving this out of their list will become psychotic within 3 months).

    4 pts. Library (Gives you the chance to entertain yourself, learn about everything, and gives you the space necessary to run/exercise).

    3 pts. Cell Phone (Need to talk to family and friends)

    6 pts. Computer (Not sure what you do with a computer if you dont have internet or games, so I would probably write a journal about all my feelings and emotions and then use that to write a book when Im out...make millions off of that).

    4 pts. Games (Easy way for me to kill off about 3-4 hours per day)

    1 pt. Pool table (I have a point left and may as well turn myself into a world class pool player)

    I'd hope that I could tether internet with my cell phone, so that I'd at least have some access to the internet one time per week. Wishful thinking probably.

    Girl (18)
    -- companionship, sexercise, and massage therapy
    Kitchen (6)
    -- fresh food, opportunity to master cooking, ingredients to repurpose into cleaning products, sink and water for personal hygiene
    Skylight (2)
    -- sunlight, visual connection to the outside world
    Library (4)
    -- entertainment, learning, source of material for interesting conversations with hot 18 year old who will mature over the 10 years into a hot and well-read 28 year old

    I think that's a good 30 points well spent to nourish the mind, body, and soul over 10 years.

    Pretty old, but I'll play it again for the hell of it:

    First, half to $5M to get 5 more points, then:

    TV with Premium Cable (7pts) - Need it. Lets me watch sports and news. Also covers the movies/TV aspect, and the music aspect (music channels).

    Full Kitchen, Ingredients, and Recipes (6pts) - Goes without saying. Love to cook, can literally make and eat whatever I want.

    Workout Room (5pts) - Keeps me in good shape. Batting cage and basketball court to pass the time, and possibly hone skills. I'll be Miguel Cabrera and Ray Allen by the time I'm out.

    Video Games (4pts) - Entertainment.

    Library (4pts) - Change of pace from TV and video games. Will use it to expand my knowledge greatly.

    Cell Phone (3pts) - My moneymaker. Once a week live updates to twitter, vine, youtube, etc. Will be a celebrity.

    New Delhi Doctor (2pts) - Just in case. I'll be working out regularly, eating healthy, and will have access to ingredients and books for medical knowledge. Really just for emergencies.

    Skylight (2pts) - Need sunlight. Couldn't imagine being without it.

    Garden with Greenhouse (2pts) - Another hobby, plus ability to combine with kitchen to make hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, and toothpaste.

    35pts

    Kitchen 6
    Workout 5
    Cable/TV 7
    Hygiene products 3
    Medical care 2
    garden/skylight 2
    video games 4
    pool table 1
    ----------------------
    29pts

    I struggled with the medical care, I will be fit and eating healthy. I just don't see how I can realistically need medical care. I'm in a controlled environment , what could go wrong? I eventually went with the medical care because of the 'you just never know' factor.

    Went for video games vs library because I don't care about strengthening/building my mind while 'incarcerated' . I just rather relax and play video games.

    I plan on spending $1mil and making that last as long as possible (along with money from being a fitness model) and the other $9mil , I'll put in a high interest savings account. The interest should be enough of a supplement. Big spending will only happen in the first 2 years (car-benz, condo-upper kirby,plenty of women), then coasting the rest of my life.


    PS: regarding the skylight, I only added it so I won't come out looking like Powder. IMO it's only needed for biological purposes . You could always use TV programming to tell day from night.

    No , but everyone knows they will have 5-10 mil to spend when they get out. Two words.
