wind up and end up - I don't want him to wind up/end up in prison.
Does it make sense with both verbs? Do they mean the same in this case?

Re: wind up and end up In that sentence, they mean the same thing.
'Wind up' can also be used thus:
"John got wound up over the incessant barking of his neighbor's dog"
