Other than linking to a lever, you could pit non-thieves into your barracks from above.

Urist McSwordsman: "Whoa! Where did that troll come from!?!?"
Urist McPitterguy: "From up here!"
Urist McMaceman: "What did we ever do to you?"
Urist McPitterguy: "I don't know, it just felt like a good idea."
Urist McInnocentbystander: "Aagh! That troll that just busted out of the barracks tore my son in half!"
Urist McPitterguy: "Sorry, my mistake!"

I like to build a pit a couple of z-levels below the barracks with the pit opening in the barracks. (So that any escaping-while-transported prisoners will run into soldiers first.) Then I build a staircase up from the barracks that leads to a (locked) door.

Throw prisoners in. If there aren't trolls, let them rot until I'm ready. If they are trolls, I have to be ready when I pit them. Put the squad on duty, unlock the door. Goblins come out, dwarves have a nice slaughter bout, happy thoughts all around.

Well, not for the goblins.
