Why do you suppose malcolm X said, while in prison, i had never been so truly free in my life? use details from the selection and your own ideas to support your answer

"I had never been so truly free in my life", stated that he had been more free than even when he wasn’t in prison. Because he was in African American, he really didn’t have that much freedom. In prison, however, he wasn’t discriminated. Also the fact that he wasn’t taking advantage at school, he could have been much smarter and not chosen a life of crime. But with that dictionary, that disadvantage is an advantage.
