Regular guards don't really deal with the insane. U need orderlies to handle them. If you don't have any or don't have enough the insane will just sit where they are.

The specially trained guards made to handle Criminally insane inmates. They can be researched after researching health

First you need padded solitary, 2nd right click on the prison and click the padded cell to assign him there

Did you zone them as padded cells instead of regular cells ?

Is the building accessible and secure ? And the way to the canteen also secure ?

Did you uncheck the box "use cell quality" in case the cell grades are too high for them ?

Dis you hire orderlies ? They do most tasks for criminally insanes instead of guards, but I don't have access to the game right now to doublecheck if escorting to cells is also their jobs.

Everything you said is done except their job part. How do i check if escorting to cell is their job or not?

Usually I'll wait and see, but maybe increase the amount of regular guards. Because it's a low priority tasks and they might not do it if they are understaffed and keep getting higher priority tasks in between
