[Lord Vetinari]

One of my dwarves was sent to prison and he died in there because noone gave him food and drink. Is there a way to bring him out of there aside from melting everything?

Also, every time that I set up a food stockpile, the dwarves go and steal barrels from the booze stockpile, which I set up just for the opposite reason, as I wanted to have a stable amount of barrels dedicated to drinks. Is there a way to prevent that aside from setting a maximum amount of barrels in the new stockpile?

I think refuse/corpse haulers should take care of that. If they don't - try deconstructing the cage.

[Lord Vetinari]

Sorry, I added the second question before I was able to see that someone answered.

As for the cage, ti didn't work. The cage was removed with the corpse inside. Now it's in the stockpile. At least it's not producing miasma (and it's been a while since the death, as far as I could see in the past it should be rotten by now).

First in prison. They will only bring him water. And they need a bucket for that. Second question no. Just do it that way, and change it once you get enough booze and barrels made.

You can dump his body from the cage (it doesn't have to be built even).  Make sure you have a garbage zone set up, then look at the cage using 'k' and hit enter.  This will take you to the cage description.  Hit enter again to look at the contents of the cage and it should have the corpse description.  Hit 'd' to designate the course for dumping.  A dwarf will come along and dump the body into the garbage zone.

You can set up a small booze stockpile and a small food stockpile within a prisoner's chained reach. Set them to take from your bigger food stockpiles, and dwarves should keep them properly stocked with booze and food. You might have the problem of dwarves running over to consume the booze and food though, if it is the closest stockpile of food when they decide they are hungry/thristy enough to go eat/drink.
