"I have window bars, an alarm, a dog and a gun. I'm not paranoid. Neither are my neighbors. We are just prepared. It's not a prison. It's security."

If you live behind bars you are imprisoned. Whether or not it is paranoi depends on your neighborhood. Either way, if you are behind bars, you are the prisoner.

Not really. I can come and go as I please. I live in a nice neighborhood. Unfortunately people do steal though. I had the porch enclosed because my bike was taken off my porch. The unexpected benefit is that I can open my door while keeping people I don't know back. It looks nice too.
