Here is the synopsis for “Stone”:
As parole officer Jack Mabry (Oscar winner Robert De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Oscar nominee Edward Norton). Stone is in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire.
Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected consequences for them both.
“Stone” skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin.
Golden Globe winner Frances Conroy also stars as Madylyn – Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse – while Milla Jovovich delivers a startlingly raw, breakout performance as the sexy, casually amoral woman both men desire.
Here is the movie trailer for “Stone”:

No, I would not. I think
No, I would not. I think that plan would back fire in the end.
Sherry BonDurant
Sleep with him?
No since I would have divorced the husband already!
WOULD I SLEEP WITH MY HUSBANDS PAROLE OFFICER
NO I WOULDN’T SLEEP WITH HIM. BUT I WOULD REPORT THE PAROLE OFFICER.
Well...
We’re talking true love here, so of course I’d do anything to see my husband out of jail. It’s really messed up but you gotta do what you gotta do to accomplish your goals sometimes. We can’t always be saints in the game of life.

A Means To An End
First off, I don’t think you have to be a woman to seriously consider the damage infidelity would have on both partners of a marriage. The truth is, if I were committed to doing anything for my significant other, I would say sleeping with a parole officer would be lower on the list of things seriously in need of pondering (robbing a bank, living a lie, justifiable murder.) Obviously, there is an issue of trust that comes up, but if I felt my marriage were strong enough to endure the resulting questioning of my loyalty, I would absolutely do this to save the one I love.
-Eric Bednarowicz
End justifies the means...
Yes.
Angie Vo
NO
That is beyond my moral compass.
Vanessa Ragler
No, I don’t see how that
No, I don’t see how that would be a fool-proof plan
Ashley Allen
As a woman, would you sleep with your husband’s parole officer
No for a couple reasons: most likely it would be a hustle and it wouldn’t do anything for him and if it did work it would only cause problems within our relationship and myself.

I absolutely would.
