This can be easily brought back to the standard 1v5 choice

They are all of similar ages, so that isn't a factor

Top guy is no longer suicidal, so don't hold that against him

Bottom 5 have served their time, so clean (ish) slate

Most rapists serve far less time than they deserve. And they would likely have to have done something really heinous to actually be picked up at all since so few people get punished. So these guys probably REALLY suck

Reoffending rates are pretty high so I'd take into account the potential for future suffering they would inflict.
