Why does V see his world to be a prison?

Question(s)

In his conversation with Evey at the end of book 2, he tells her that she has been in a prison all of her life. That their very world is a prison itself.

I understand generally what he means but more specifically, what aspects of his world is he criticizing? Is it the concentration camps? System of government? Or the everyday civilian playing into it?

I interpreted it as criticizing people like Evey, or in other words "bystanders." But he seems to be hinting at a much bigger picture. What is this prison?
