Even if the suspects are held in the same room and allowed to communicate with one another, the result will be the same. One will take the lighter way out. Ive seen many documentaries on how this works. If the 1st prisoner is remaining silent but knows that the 2nd prisoner is cooperating (a lie told to the prisoner to convince that prisoner to talk), then the 1st prisoner will likely cooperate. There is a whole cooperation equation that deals with the mindset of human beings. It is called Theory of Mind Ability and Cooperation (Ridinger and McBride 2016). Remaining loyal to each other is a highly unlikely event. When the stress level and emotions are high, your minds ability to think rationally is thrown out the door, even if they were in the same room.

In conclusion, I think of it like this. My current situation I am in, if I drove the getaway car from a robbery that turned into murder and we were caught, I would immediately turn in the other prisoner to receive immunity or lighten my prison time. Why should I pay the full price when I can talk myself into a 50% discount or even more when the crimes are not close in levels? There will not be an equal crime level and if there is so, the other will turn in the other as that prisoner planned for the crime. One prisoner had to have planned it, which is a bigger crime. What if I committed the murder? I would turn my story around and make it sound like the other prisoner planned for this event and hand over evidence of that.

Do you see any possible solution to the prisoner's dilemma?

The prisoners dilemma is a common legal strategy that uses a game-like tactic to provide options during an investigation in order to get confessions from two suspects. In this weeks discussion, the solution to the prisoners dilemma is useful for negotiating and weighing options during a decision. The prisoners dilemma is as stated in an article from Simplicable, Logically, the prisoner's dilemma can be solved with a strategy known as Superrationality (Mar,2013). Superrationality speaks to the idea that a person can look outside what would be best for themselves and instead consider whats the best option for the long-term or the greater good.

What if the suspects are not held in separate jail cells: that is, what if they are allowed to communicate with each other?

If the two suspects are not held in separate jail cells and they are able to speak freely with each other then they are able to illuminate any sort of dilemma. The two suspects would be able to decide the best situation and outcome for themselves and the greater good for the future. In essence, they could both agree not to admit to anything, and both be set free or have both have a very light sentence.
