Changing the order a little bit, but keeping the meaning.
His relatives visit him every Sunday. He will leave (will be released') after August the 20th.

It should be "lo visitan" (singular pronoun - they visit him), but it's a common native speaker mistake to make the pronoun plural because it's next to the plural verb (many people visiting one individual). Since the other sentences seemed to reference one person being in the place (one person being visited), that's what I did in my translation (and I assume Guillermo did the same).

Although I hate online translators, if you put the email in there it will spit out coherent-enough English that you can probably piece the email together. If you have questions after that, you can post them here. (Then again, if it's a short email, I guess you can post it here...)

If you say "en el lugar donde se encuentra", you are referring to a single person, so on the second part, you have to say "le visitan" to keep it consistent with this.
Otherwise, to leep the "los", you have to say "encuentran".
Then, the two possibilities are (I'm also correcting the wording a little bit):
"En el lugar donde se encuentran, los visitan todos los domingos los familiares. ÿl saldrá después del 20 de agosto"

"En el lugar donde se encuentra, le visitan todos los domingos sus/los familiares. ÿl saldrá después del 20 de agosto"

Let me know which one fits better your context. My translation is for the second one.

"At the place where he is, they visit him every Sunday his relatives; he will leave (get out of the place) after the 20th of August."

it might not be 100% correct but still helpful:
"at the place where one meets/at the place where it is located, the familymembers/relatives visit (each other) on Sundays, it will appear from the 20th of August"
