or perhaps they try to map all the escape routes. the thing is these are not simple robot-goaled aliens, they are complex fun aliens. it's just that they think escaping from prison is the only fun thing

BUT they have too much dignity to just go to prison again on purpose. or to build an alien to prison conveyor belt. that is the fundamental problem of the these aliens condition

and then maybe they build a machine that lets them construct infinite prisons but also gives them infinite self knowledge. irony device

Nest prisons within prisons. Oroboros prisons. New philosophy: the world is a prison, the universe is a prison, punishment for indescribable crimes beyond life. All existence a prison (but quantum suicide)
