Can't I use the form of "doing" after "deserve"?

Either "He deserves to be locked up";
Or "He deserves being locked up".

What I want to know is whether I can use "doing sth" after"deserve". If I can, should I use "being done" or just "doing" when the passive voice is meant.

just the example sentence presented above. Isn't that context enough?

What you gave above is not a context. I asked you about the sentence - something that has a complete meaning.

Technically, <deserves doing> can be a valid structure. For example: He deserves to do/doing this hard excruciating work. But I can't think of any context in which <deserves being done> would make any sense.
