Indeed.  And where there are prisoners, there are always guards {'avwI'}:

   jav luHpu' 'avwI'
   The guard has caused a prisoner to confess.
   (slang: "The guard has 'yanked a six'.") KGT

   'avwI'vaD jatlh qama'...
   A prisoner says to the guard... PK

   'avwI' nejDI' narghta'bogh qama' reH 'avwI' Sambej
   When an escaped prisoner looks for a guard, he always finds one. TKW

Iron bars do not a prison make;  guards do.
