Going to prison is not more voluntary than so.

I shall skip the monotonous formalities and head straight to a rebuttal to my opponent's argument as the basis for my first speech. First of all, I would like to define the topic once more. 'Going to prison is not more voluntary than so' basically means that going to prison is not affiliated with free will. Now, you stated that 'While free will indicates that one would have control over the actions which guide him or her to go to prison, it does not indicate that one would maintain control over the consequences of said actions.' Yes, it does not indicate that one would maintain control over the consequences, but that is quite off-topic. We are not talking about whether one would maintain control over consequences of their actions, but rather the topic that 'going to prison is more voluntary than not'(my part of the argument)', which you have concurred with. As such, the part of your argument stating that one cannot control the consequences of their actions might be true, but is off-topic and therefore holds no weight in this argument. Think about it this way: If you were arrested for something, wouldn't YOU be the one to walk yourself to prison, out of your own free will? You still have a choice, but YOU choose to go to prison instead of trying to break free. Although there may be consequences to your actions, your main argument seems to focus around the fact that one cannot control the consequences of their argument. But we're not talking about whether consequences can be controlled. For instance, you say that if you were an immigrant who had just moved to the United States, you may not know that it is illegal to trespass on the property of another person; you may have taken walks in the woods around your old home all the time, not thinking anything of it. However, if you were arrested for it, wouldn't you voluntarily go to prison? It's your choice, after all. You also state that going to prison is a consequence of one's actions. It is a consequence, but you do have a choice on whether you want to take that consequence or not. That is what makes it voluntary. Even if those choices are not likable, you still have choices, and if you choose to go to jail, that would therefore make it voluntary as YOU make that decision out of your own free will. And finally, you say that to argue that people jailed under false accusations went there voluntarily is absurd. Could you give me a statistic on how many people get jailed under false accusations? You obviously can't, because you don't know whether one makes false accusations or not until is can actually be proven false, which would take quite a long time. In any case, even if one is jailed under false accusations, it is their choice whether they want to go to jail or not. If they don't, they'll probably be killed. If they do, that makes it voluntary and therefore supports my argument even further. As a conclusion to my first speech, I'd firstly like to state that my opponent's arguments mostly consisted of the consequences of actions, which does not relate much to this debate topic and is off-topic at best, seeing as to how we are arguing on whether 'going to prison is voluntary than not' and not 'there are consequences to actions'. Also, what I find to be completely absurd is any opinion that states going to prison is not voluntary. Everyone has a choice, but when they pick to go to prison, they have made up their mind and have therefore volunteered to go there. Saying they didn't volunteer just because they have been sentenced to prison because of wrongdoings is flawed logic at best, and should be ignored. I now hand over the debate to my opponent, who I expect should reply with the utmost of eloquence at his disposal. Good luck! :D
