I came out of the prison walls with broken health

Explanation:
A woman is speaking by the way. 'Podorvanny' means comes from 'podryvat' which means to undermine, sap (in the context of health).

Покинула тюрьму с подорванным здоровьем

Explanation:
Everyone cought the gist of the text right, except nowhere does the sentence refer to the first person, only that it is about a female former prisoner. So, it could be:
Я покинула тюрьму с подорванным здоровьем

Or:
Она покинула тюрьму с подорванным здоровьем

She / I came out of prision with deteriorated health.

Explanation:
....literally.

As "prision" is somewhat "neutral" you can use:

tyuremnaja kamara = isolation cell / solitary confinement

or something similar instead.

Explanation:
I see where you are going there n, but what we were striving for was a correct rendering in English..and you are correct in that "vyshla" leaves the door wide open (so to speak) as to "Ya" or "ona"

I/she emerged from the torments of prison with damaged health

Explanation:
In the heat of discussing "I or she", has none of the other contributors noticed that "zastenok" is not simply a wall, but (historically) a torture chamber, and figuratively a place where one experiences great anguish?
