Free Will and the Implications for Individuals in Prisons

The chapter explores the concept of free will and its three primary components: the ability to generate options, choose, and pursue the chosen option. It discusses the Free Will Quotient (FQ) and how individuals with lower FQ scores may struggle with critical thinking and decision-making. The chapter also raises questions about the impact of prison design on the development of free will and whether nurturing these skills could benefit society.
