You are twisting the meaning of "feasible". If that prisoner wants to scape from prison NOW, and there's no way out, then he's wanting something which is NOT feasible IN THAT MOMENT.

I still don't see what 'wanting' has to do with freedom.

No matter how you choose to define 'feasable', you still said that you "...define "freedom" as a power of wanting feasible actions."

Care to clarify?
