Would it be right for Socrates to escape Roman custody for his crime of "corrupting the youth"? Let me remind you, Socrates was basically caught guilty of being cocky and spreading new ideas. He did not harm anyone. Socrates could have easily escaped the prison and no one would have really cared but he didn't. In our reading it was debated wether it would be just or right for him to escape prison. In my opinion it would be both. For example it was not just of Socrates's government to incarcerate him over corrupting the youth but they still did it. It was also not right of them to simply execute him either. In the end it was not just or right of socrates to be prosecuted. He definitely should have attempted to escape.
