Its easy to imagine anything. If I have my choice I will imagine
that I am eternally free. I can certainly imagine myself to be in
prison, but I choose not to. I'm actually not very interested in
imagining much about myself at all, purely for the purpose of
speculation. I'd much rather live it through my body than imagine it
in my head. My imagination serves the purpose of bringing my desires
to fruition, and it does a very good job of that, so I ask you, why
would I imagine myself in prison?:-)
