Yeah, I'll address this in a post soon. It's dumb.
Presumably they don't schedule this to happen while other important stuff is ongoing like war.
The scheduled fighting to the death for leadership is also dumb, which I'll explain in another post in detail.
So once Hoolay was captured by the Luofu forces, and before he could be transfered to another ship for interrogation/sentencing/etc. the only place he could've been held at in the interim was the Shackling Prison.
We were shown in 2.4 that there is a super complicated procedure for holding Hoolay because he's a high security risk prisoner. He's not like the other types of prisoners you've mentioned. Jingliu was placed there bc Jing Yuan knew she wasn't an escape threat (she wanted to be captured). Blade's threat level is minimal. The suspicious cargo was easily deactivated, this not showing themselves to be a jailbreak risk.
Hoolay on the other hand could single-handedly destroy an entire troop of Cloud Knights. He's a high risk prisoner and there was serious concerns of jailbreak. The ridiculous protocol regarding the handling of Hoolay isn't Ten Lords being paranoid, he genuinely warranted that level of scrutiny.
But logistically you can't come up with complex prisoner protocols on the fly. If he was temporarily being held in Shackling Prison while trial is happening in the middle of a war, then he'd be held under much looser protocols, thus making him an escape risk. This is why it's a logistical nightmare.
Again, it's not impossible, the logistics are just crazy difficult. But also there's not a lot of point trying to make sense of this now that I realize miHoyo doesn't have a grand timeline at all and they don't care about inconsistentencies.
