Isaiah the prophet said prison in Isaiah 61:1.  Jesus said in Luke 4:18: ... 
"to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, 
to set at liberty them that are bruised,  (19) to preach the acceptable year of 
the Lord."    The meaning of prison pertains to the opening of the eyes.    

The prophet describes first, who Christ is, and then what are his offices. 
Liberty - This appertains to Christ's kingly office, whereby he proclaims 
liberty from the dominion of sin, and from the fear of hell.  (taken from Wesley's 
Explanatory Notes on Is. 61:1)  

So yes, Jesus did come to open spiritual prison doors and set the captives 
free - (the captives being us)  through His redemptive work done at Calvary.  

As for those who break the existing laws of the land today and have to serve 
time for it, the prison doors will be physically opened when the sentence is 
served.   

God bless you abundantly today and always!
