OK here goes...
I think Jack would grow up to be a leader, possibly Prime Minister or the like, he would do a good job of running the country but would have some very underhand dealings and would have his enemies bumped off secretely. He is intelligent and resourceful and obviously already has powerful connections in high places. He would bring his country (Britain probably) into a war that he thought we could win and would have a lot of support but it would slowly dawn on him that he cannot win, his supporters would gradually desert him, and he would be publicly assasinated by the opposition side while making a speech to bring back some support age ~50.
Ralph would become a writer and an unnoficial leader of few. He would spend the rest of his life trying to find good in mankind and die without finding it, after many years of travelling and study. He will die before he reaches 40.
Simon is already dead. Otherwise he would be disillusioned with mankind and try to bring about a following. He would be branded a blasphemer and a heretic and executed (crucified?) age ~30. (obviously this one's hypothetical, as he dies on the island).
Piggy also dead. Piggy would become one of the few politicians trying to bring about a fair and equal society, he would gather a small following but would never be very well known, possibly making it as far as local MP, no further, he would retire after many years hard work and die of obesity related illnesses age ~60. (Also obviously impossible due to his death on the island).
Roger would become a hitman for Jack's corrupt government. He would die far beyond enemy lines in Jack's war. He would take great pleasure in his job and take some sort of trophy (fingers?) from all his victims. Die age ~30
Sam and Eric would vow to stick together for the rest of their lives, but would drift apart and fit into society well, both being relatively successful in their chosen fields. One of them may snap from flashbacks and PTSD and kill someone. The other would die trying to free the other from prison age ~35, and the other would commit suicide in prison shortly after.
There are too many Little'uns (and not enough about them) to really go into depth about their future, but they would mostly fit quite easily into their previous lives after the current war ended.
No-one would be prosecuted for the murders commited on the island, as the island is not part of any country and therefore, has no laws. Some of them would require therapy but none would get it as there is a war on.
