Subject: заключенный в четырех стенах
Контекст был следующий: Им беззащитным, не каждый день имеющим возможность купить хлеб, принять обезболивающие средства, заключенным в четырех стенах, не видящих ничего, кроме потолка, необходимо наше милосердие.
Я дошла только до варианта They unprotected, not every day able to buy bread, take anaesthetics, staying at home, who see nothing excepy the ceiling are need our mercy. Так можно?

It is the helpless ones, not being able to afford to buy bread daily or to take anaesthetics, confined within four walls, seeing nothing but the ceiling, who need our mercy.

for stylistic effect use absolute construction:
Helpless, unable to buy bread and medicine,etc., they need your grace and mercy.
