Women: what would you do in this situation?

If you falsely accused a man of rape and after he was jailed you felt remorse and went to the prosecutor to change your story, but the prosecutor threatened to prosecute you if you changed your story, would you willingly go to jail for what you did or would you stick to your lie?

Update:

Specifically, he is jailed in pretrial detention alongside and in the same cells as people who have been found guilty, eating the same crummy food and having even fewer visiting privileges as the convicts. This because he is unable to raise $250,000 for bail.

    I wouldn't falsely accuse a man of rape in the first place.

    It's silly to even think that a woman who is morally bankrupt enough to get a man falsely jailed for rape would be selfless enough to go to jail herself in order to make it right.

    Wait, is he in jail as in he is arrested and WAITING TRIAL, or he has already BEEN CONVICTED? What if I just dropped the charges against him?

    Above all, I would never falsely accuse a man of rape in the first place. If I DID do that, then I wouldn't be myself, I'd be a different girl. I have some morals... I could never ruin a man's life like that unless he actually DID rape me. A woman who is morally devoid enough to ruin a guy's life unfairly like that, has NO morals and NO conscience.

    I face the same threats women face in terms of rape, since I'm a pre-everything trans man and still have my breasts.

    I wouldn't lie in the first place; most women wouldn't and most women don't. If in some twist of my morals, or in some other universe I had lied, I would indeed admit to the truth and take whatever sentence I got for it.
