Interviewing for a villain, or backstory? Options

[Iduno]

I was listening to a podcast and someone sent in the following interview question (shortened, because it's too much):

You're a prison guard, and the bus transporting the prisoners with you stops working on a bridge that is going to get wiped out by a rising river. A helicopter can transport 10 people to the prison, but the rest will get washed to their deaths.

Which 10 do you send to prison, and which ones do you leave to die?
a murderer
a kidnapper
a bank robber
a bad check writer
a drunk driver
a terrorist
a forger
a jay walker
a credit card thief
a child molester
a gun dealer
a drug dealer
a hacker
a peeping tom
a sex worker
a rapist
an exhibitionist
a stripper
a gang member
a speeder
an auto thief
a spouse abuser
a serial killer
a gambler
a tresspasser
an arsonist
an embezzler
a runaway
a youth offender (a young person who committed a crime)

Aside from them obviously running out of ideas, having someone judge who has to die is real messed up. Also, a few are walking free (jaywalker? stripper? runaway?), and a few of them are "dying" with me so we can form a runner team.
