The Clojure persistent data structures are truly immutable - all fields are final and referred objects are not mutated after construction so that freeze occurs. One obvious exception are the transient variants (http://clojure.org/transients). You can look at the code in https://github.com/clojure/clojure/tree/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang - any of the Persistent*.java.
