I think I missed something in the MCU

I realize there is a probably a better forum or subreddit for this somewhere, but figured someone here would know!

Confused what happened to the arrested avengers between Civil War and Infinity War. OK at the end of Civil War, they're in that space prison. I did look through the movies between that one and Infinity War, but admit I did not go through them with a fine tooth comb. Anyway, the formerly imprisoned Avengers just show up at the beginning of Infinity War! That holographic William Hurt kind of says "arrest them!" and Don Cheadle blows him off. But that's it. Was there any other explanation (in the actual movies, not somewhere else) that bridges the gap there?

The prison is actually underwater and Steve breaks them out. It is shown at the end of Civil War, though only briefly. Ant-Man and Hawkeye though took a deal to be with their families. Wanda, Nat, and Sam went into hiding.
