Yes I agree, mentally chaining someone is very harmful.

How often did this happen and what evidence is there to support it’s widespread usage?

I suggest you do some research and find out to your satisfaction. For a comment thread, I've already provided a reasonable amount.
No it's not.

You in fact are, but those things aren't as severe as a tattoo on your face declaring your widely-recognized status as someone's property.
The point is that social status and the conspiracy of the rest of society to enforce that can be just as confining if not more so than a literal lock. A prisoner that escapes from prison isn't free, so long as he's within reach of the society that put him there, and a prisoner who understands that may not bother to escape at all.
