[ d ] > [ b ] > [ d ]

will mass-designated everything on the chosen tiles for dumping.

[ k ] and remove the dump designation from the cages.

edit: [ d ] > [ b ] > [ c ] and reclaim the items on the same tiles. The items in the caged prisoners' inventories are forbidden by default, so they must be reclaimed.

I prefer d->b->h - Hiding his stuff, so that I know exactly which weapons/armor belong to him/her; then I selectively dump his equipment from the stock screen (it's the only one with the (H)idden flag).

Naked dwarves remove the need to produce more clothing, which means more of your pig tails can be brewed into booze.
I think this is less a problem and more an expression of dwarven priorities.
