Do they try converting their guards and cellmates? Do they get in conflicts with the gangs? How do they adjust from being worshiped to just being another criminal? Or go from being leader of their compound to being put in solitary?
Kind of like asking what murderers or drug dealers do…
Different people do it different ways, but lots of high profile cult leaders are in jail, you can actually find out on an individual basis, but if you average them all up, you get no valuable data

Cult personalities aren’t just another criminal any more than they are just another person.
They used their charisma and cunning to influence people, and unless they’re manson-level, many cult leaders do a few years in prison, get out and then do what they were doing before but more quietly.

Do you mean expose them as a liar?
Questions you know the answer to is certainly a viable method to determine who is a liar.
