Hmm. Suppose someone would kidnap, imprison, and rape your spouse/child/family for 5 years...unless you agreed to be unjustifiably incarcerated for 5 years. Does your freedom have greater value than your family's comfort?

Thats not my families comfort vs my freedom.

Your hypothetical involves some monster abusing his power and depriving people of their freedom, but playing head games at the start of it. Both options (and of course in that situation I would chose to myself be imprisoned) result in a loss of freedom for all.
