So who are you claiming are these wise leaders who you say have been in prison for more than 2000 years now?It is apparent that you are not perceiving that most all of Daniel (KJV) has been fulfilled, at least 99% of it, during the "Age of Indignation". It was that Age that God was bringing to an "End", to then bring in His Age if Grace through Jesus.
If you will notice in 525+/-BC, Dan. 11:1-2 is of WHEN the 2nd beast (Medio-Persia) and 3rd beast (Grecian) are being prophesied of.
Dan. ch.11 is just more details about the 2nd and 3rd Beast, upto the coming of the 4th Beast, the Roman Empire.
Verse 3 and 4 is about Alexander the Great, and his four Generals, that received the Grecian Empire, because Alex the Great had no posterity to leave his empire to.
Those "four heads" were: Ptolemy, Lysichimus, Cassandar and Seleucus, which are known of as being the "Hellenistic kingdoms" of Greece, the 3rd Beast. 11:5-20.

Alexander the Great | Biography, Empire, Death, & Facts | Britannica
Alexander the Great, a fearless Macedonian king and military genius, conquered vast territories from Greece to Egypt and India, leaving an enduring legacy as one of history’s most remarkable conquerors.www.britannica.com
Out of the Seleucid kingdom, there arose "a little horn" named Antiochus Epiphanes lV, described again in 11:21
In Dan. 11, the 2nd and 3rd Beast waged war on each other until the 2nd Beast was subdued/defeated by the 3rd Beast.
Dan. 12 is prophetic about Jesus.
The name "Michael" is a code word/name for Jesus, of which is prophesied of right to the end of the chapter, even prophetically describing the disciples waiting for the Gift "from on high" of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. Dan. 12:11-12.
Daniel 11:33-35
Wise leaders will give instruction to many, but these teachers will die by fire and sword, or they will be jailed and robbed.
During these persecutions, little help will arrive, and many who join them will not be sincere.
And some of the wise will fall victim to persecution. In this way, they will be refined and cleansed and made pure until the time of the end, for the appointed time is still to come.
Amd just so you know,the time of the end is in Daniel 11:40-12:2.
Daniel 11;40 says it is the time of the end so from The Daniel 11:33-12:2 ,these wise leaders are imprisoned and killed.
Who is it that you claim have been In prison for thousands of years now?
