There is no requirement that the plaintiff alleging false imprisonment was aware of the
restraint on his freedom at the time of his confinement, If the person is confined in a room,
with one of the entries known to the plaintiff closed, and the room has more than one entry-
exit door, but the plaintiff has no knowledge about the same, the defendant will still be held
liable. Thus, the person confined does not have to be aware of the confinement or be
harmed by it as it is actionable per se.
