From Salon

Unprison, un-priz′n, v.t. to release from prison.

From Project Gutenberg

Nor false their faith, nor like the fleeting wind, Their spirits fled! for theirs the unprison'd mind, No tyrant-chains, no bonds of earth and time, Could hold from truth and freedom's heights sublime— From that bright heaven of science, whence they shed Fresh glory o'er man's cause for which they bled.

From Project Gutenberg

Down and still downward through the dusky green She bore her treasure, with a face too nigh To mark how life was alter'd in its mien, Or how the light grew torpid in his eye, Or how his pearly breath, unprison'd there, Flew up to join the universal air.
