Now of course, I'm talking in principle here, individual freedom is limited by other things, private property for example, or justice, like in this case with this guy in solitary confinement, but it's because we live in society with other people and we all need to get along, but the principle still remains, freedom is a natural right that precedes society itself.
This was the sense of my comment.
> how being put in jail for transgressions and being free are interrelated?
Jail acts both as a deterrent, through fear of being punished, and it also incapacitates the offender to commit more crime to protect society.
> Who or what determines what is a severe enough transgression to lose your freedom?
It's the people, through laws, who determines what behavior is or is not acceptable in society.
