Prisoner's dilemma isn't a dilemma really. The only way out is keeping your muff shut.
Well, it's supposed to be a matter of choosing cooperation over competition, but every time I have students demonstrate blindly they always cooperate- no one ever rats out the other. Granted they're all women, which research shows are more cooperative on average, so I guess the takeaway is to always have female accomplices.
Since cops always lie, it's probably in how you're explaining the situation.
Cops don't lay out the prisoner's dilemma honestly and explain your options. They say "Jennie told us what happened, and that she tried to warn you not to do it. So, can you just initial here to say her explanation is correct? Then we can just move on to the next phase."
I think women are more cooperative on average, but that cooperation also extends to the cops. I think they're more likely to want to set the record straight, whereas men might just want to keep their gobs shut.
