This quest appears to be bugged if you do it AFTER completing the raid. The intractable prisons simply do not exist and there is nothing to interact with to free them.;

Description
Their very life force is being siphoned to power the ethereals' guns, {name}! This cannot be allowed to continue. Head into the Ethereum Overcroft and free my fellow void elves from the ethereals' clutches. With their freedom, the turrets will have no power, and Turalyon will be able to launch his warframes.
