Being voluntarily able to leave and not being able to voluntarily leave are not the same thing, just like being too lazy to leave your house is not the same as having the western stasi threatening you to leave.
If the police are outside your house waiting to take you to jail, you are not yet in jail. Your house does not count as jail just because the police are waiting outside to take you there. It's really not that hard of a concept to understand. If you walk outside, are arrested, and brought to jail, then you're in jail.
