And even if they don't know that he can transform, they are sure to keep 
an extra watchful eye on him since he managed to escape once before.  I 
imagine they would station a guard who can actually see (unlike the 
Dementors) outside his cell to keep track of what he's doing.

purely hypothetical.  They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
nonexisted in an entirely different way ...
