Do you not feel trapped or confined by the breaches of privacy commited by the government? That would satisfy your definition.



As I said in my second paragraph, feeling trapped or confined by the breaches of privacy commited by the government “is not an instrinsic part of being watched”. It doesn’t matter whether I personally feel trapped or confined. As long as there is someone out there who is “constantly being watched” yet does not feel trapped or confined, then that means “someone who is constantly being watched” is a bad definition for ‘prisoner’. And I’m sure there are people out there who don’t feel trapped or confined by the government’s surveillance.
