contrapositionWhat does the highlighted part mean?The "not" in "not when" links with (and elaborates on) the "not" in "they don't need." The "when" in that sentence is explanatory.
Paraphrase: "They don't need prison walls to keep the prisoners in because they're all trapped inside their own minds."
