Hmm this is difficult Bursali. In Turkish you use Geçmiş olsun for lots of situations, i.e. to say get well soon to someone who is ill, but also to say to someone who is having bad luck, that you hope their problems pass... There is not really a set phrase in English that we use which has this dual meaning. If someone was ill, then as you say, you could say to them "I hope you feel better" or "Get well soon". As for someone who has come out of jail... hmm... "Good luck for your future" ; "I hope things improve for you" or "Congratulations" - but there is no set phrase.

Bursalı! Did you watch the movie " A Clokwork Orange" by Kubrick. There Alex, main figure of the movie, gots out of jail and goes to home. Even his parents says nothing, what's more, they drive Alex, their son, away! I mean the English don't say much about that situation as we do. So, forget it!
