Also don't underestimate the psychology of guards: You'll always find people who are either very principled (yes, they do exist) or get a kick out of controlling (imprisoning in this case) someone/something, especially someone/something of a high intelligence. Throw in a hierarchy with a controlling officer and two subordinates who were also trained to watch the officer and I think it's pretty secure.
