we see people happily opening doors from the inside all the time, especially that one, and there isn't even anywhere to wave a scroll that's obvious. Quite an assumption that that could cease to be the case.

Either way, assume that's true. You already suggested Yang stealing a scroll or jumping out the window. On top of that her team mates could let her out accidentally or deliberately, since they live in that dorm room either way, and might start to believe her (particularly if CFVY says anything to them).

Either way, it's a ridiculously unreliable way of keeping her down. Yang even still has Ember Celica on her, which is downright silly if you're trying to give the impression of limiting a pottentially dangerous violent person. Even if they were merely pretending she was imprissoned, like Ben was suggesting in the first place, it's not a convincing enough pretence unless the team was in on it enough to not talk about it to anyone, which they aren't and they have talked to Velvet.

I'm led to concude that Yang has not been imprissoned or punished formaly just yet, and nor are they trying to pretend she has been. Whether or not that indicates that Ozpin or Ironwood (it's kinda his call now, after all) are aware that something is up is debatable.
