Jesus tells us that we should visit the prisoners, and like with the sick, we aren't supposed to set them free, but rather just be present with them. Spiritual prisoners are people who a trapped by beliefs that are not true. Like children who are scared of the dark, these beliefs imprison us. For those who are in this state, all we can do is be present with them, and help guide them to their own freedom.
