They did explain it. He had almost escaped before. He was brilliant.
Your statement that he escaped because his captors were incompetent is ridiculous. He switched out his pills. When he left his room he adjusted the recordings so they saw him leave and goof off, but not that he stole the focusing mirrors from the machine for the mysterious "procedure" or that he had gone and talked to the horde.
He killed Dylan by breaking the glass in his pictures. He probably shouldn't have been allowed them, I agree. He purposely went through the tunnels to get access to the computers to arrange the video streaming.
He arranged the entire escape, manipulated the Horde and David specifically so he could reveal themselves to the world.
He should have been sedated. (though I don't agree that they should have been keeping these people secret.)

All the replies are explanations of why Mr. Glass was sedated. The reason is obvious and everyone here seems to understand it.
The original question was :
'Why was he the ONLY one?'
In other words:
'Why were the other two not sedated in the same way>?'
That was not explained in the movie.

The standard was not to sedate. They could control the others. The physical arrangements of their cells were sufficient to prevent their escapes. They realized Glass was different. He was physically weak and fragile. Any physical restraint should hold him. It was his brain that was his power and that is what had to be neutralized.
