Weekend conundrum

Who will you rather be - Andy Dufresne or Chuck Noland?

Would you spend 30 years of your life in a prison for a crime you might not have commited or would you rather spend 4 years in an island all by yourself without any human contact?

A bunch of us discussed this pressing moral quagmire in an inebriated state. Each of us had a different take -
"No human contact vs. human contact of the unwanted kind"...
"De-humanizing loneliness or de-humanizing prison life"...
"4 years vs. 30 years"...
"I'll go crazy without human contact for 4 years!"...
"I don't want to get rear-ended!"...
"I would get to kiss Helen Hunt"...
"I can't swim"...

At the end of it, lot of us prefered loneliness over getting abused. What's your choice?
