Is your language holding you back????
The only prison language creates that I can see is the limits language places on communicating your mind to others.
I don't think in language, I think in feelings and shapes, mathematics and even three dimensions easily.
I cannot however communicate that fully with language, enough to allow another to truly know my thoughts.
So in a way we are each in our own little prison of sorts you could say. Some people more than others. Without language and other forms of communication we use we would be in solitary confinement.

Yeah but you hit a problem when you think of the alternative. What do you propose we do about it? It's all good 2 say we are being held back by language, but unless you can find a better alternative, it's kinda pointless

Derrida was a badass. Didn't he just die like a couple of years ago? Anyways, communication without verbal language. Telepathy, maybe? Other than that, I can't really think of a way. Here's an interesting question, though. Are stimuli necessary for thoughts to occur? In other words, do I need to experience something in order to think? If so, that's a pretty strong argument for determinism, isn't it? In order to have free will, it seems, we would need to have original thought.
