My Redguard spellsword didn't either because she supported the Imperials. My Bosmer ranger didn't because he felt that mostly it wasn't his business and also because he felt some degree of respect for the Thalmor as an Altmer institution although he despised the individual Thalmor he met.

My Breton battlemage did it once and the prisoner reported her for assaulting a Thalmor so she doesn't free them anymore, although she will taunt the Thalmor until they attack her so she can legitimately attack them back in 'self-defense'. Couldn't leave such nice armor lying out in the grass to rust.

'Oh look, Adrianne, I just happened to find these barely used Elven cuirasses out by Gjukar's Monumnet. My Breton rogue will set prisoners free sometimes just to cause mischief, have a good fight and to course, get some loot to sell-he loves trying to impress that Imperial blacksmith back in Whiterun. Just a nameless Stormcloak soldier, spared his fate and reporting back home. I presume they don't respawn on the other side of Windhelm, because they aren't supposed to be a known character. They usually run faster than I do, so I have to keep whirlwind sprint active, so I can be there in time to protect them. Sometimes they make it, and sometimes they get whacked by spiders or something. Very rarely, one will say 'Stormblade, it is an honor' and salute. If you chase them down and talk to them, they'll say 'Fight or die well' or something along those lines. If you're coming back from Hamvir's, you probably have an ancient Nord sword or axe on you at that point. I commonly run into them between Riverwood and Whiterun, and used to run into the Thalmor prisoners between Greymoor and Hamvir's rest. Then, when I loot, I will share some of my loot with them. Whenever I am going out to wander the roads, I keep an extra dagger on me. Realistically speaking, if you were to do this, you'd only have a chance to toss them a weapon and maybe a shield anyway, things they could just pick up and use. Also, they only seem to equip weapon and shield, so it is a waste to give them anything else. They do keep your items, however, so don't give them anything good. Only a couple of times they haven't, and that is when I think Jenassa takes out the guards before they get a chance.
