One major flaw in the premise

Sly's job is to test prison security. Fine.
His way of doing so is by demonstrating he's ability to escape them. Fine.

Okay but how does that "help" the prison in terms of improving their security? Sure they can fix that "one" problem Sly figured out/exploited to get out. But does that mean if he were to put him in the prison again he would not have been able to break out ever again?

If so then how'd they know if they don't try it again and again and again,(maybe they did, but that seems hardly plausible since everyone would be in on the trick by then and things would get unnatural.)

Sly's whole business works better as a magic show, show rather than explain. Rather help solving, it's just showing them what they did wrong.

Anyone else felt that was weird?

This is a question about can an angel that can literally create and do everything created a rock that he cannot lift? :/

This is not a flaw it's actually used. In IT you usually hack into servers, websites, whatever to demonstrate the flaws in a system. That's called ethical hacking or white hat.

Look it up.

No clue about prison security but it's not my line of work x)

He showed us ONE (1) way of escaping, then the gig's up. Did that solve the prison's problem with security?

Yeah sure they'll able to fix that one escape plan that Sly used. Does that mean there's literally no more way Sly can escape? How can they ever know if they don't keep sending Sly back into the same prison again and again and again? But it'll be difficult after the first time since everyone will be in on the jig and knows who he is.
