"Two prisoners sit in jail, each with the choice of squealing on the other side or maintaining silence. If neither prisoner squeals, both go free. If they both squeal, both get hanged. If one prisoner talks and the other does not, however,the squealer not only gets off scot-free but also collects a bounty for his trouble. The other gets hanged."

-Game Theory

What's the best move for the prisoner?

I would use my rock hammer to tunnel my way through the wall then crawl 1/2 mile through **** to freedom. Should only take about 19 years. That would give me time to build the prison library and tutor young prisoners to get their GED before the warden kills them.

Do the prisoners know why in Godfather 2 Frank Pantangeli reversed his testimony in court when he saw his brother?

It's to confess. If he confesses either way he will face the least amount of jail time. I think, I was in AP econ last year but kinda forgot some as I am a biochem major.
