It means that you don't have to be surrounded by stone and iron to find yourself in a prison or in a cage...
The strongest bars are not made of iron...but of your own fears.
People go about their day to day lives never brave enough to step off the path and live their life against the grain. They're locked inside a cage of their own creation and they don't even realize it. They don't know what it truly means to be free.
From the other side: freedom comes from within, from your attitude. Stone walls can not deny your inner freedom. See the Stoic, Epictetus's writings as well on this topic.
