Longchenpa’s Wish-Fulfilling Treasury explains:

Being bound by fetters and having extremely unwholesome conduct,
Not feeling weary about samsara and not possessing the slightest faith,
Engaging in unvirtuous misdeeds and separating mind and Dharma.
And corrupting one’s precepts and samayas

These are called the eight unfree states due to an unfortunate frame of mind.[1]
