I would be freer in prison than “free” outside.

 You’re not homeless, you don’t worry about going hungry, you’re not cold, the future doesn’t concern you, you don’t have to prove anything, no heavy expectations are placed on you, no one cares what you do, no one interferes with when you go to bed and when you get up, you have nothing to lose, and so on—I would be freer in prison than “free” outside.
