make more sense, please.
I tried dumping and claiming all of their items via the stocks menu, but the dwarves still won't do anything with them. I think I'm just going to set up an execution system and use that.
DESIGNATION - DUMP/RECLAIM ITEMS
HIT DUMP ON THE CAGES
THE DWARFS WILL THEN BRING THE CAGES TO YOUR DUMP ZONE (IF YOU MADE ONE IF NOT MAKE ONE)
THEN GO TO DEGSINATION AGAIN AND HIT RECLAIM THE CAGES
they'll go back to normal stockpiles and items will be lying on the ground 
tadah
