Answer:
I would rather be in jail for five years than in a coma for a decade. I'd rather be in jail because then I wouldn't miss out on life. I'd be living in the moment instead of being asleep for years and then suddenly waking up without recognizing a thing. A lot can change in a decade; society could create new inventions, or a global pandemic can occur - but if I were in jail for five years, I'd be awake to see all the changes. That way, the world won't seem so alien compared to waking up fresh from a coma.
