Usually cats are trying to tell you they're displeased when they do this. Have you tried putting out a second box somewhere for him to pee in? Many cats prefer to poop in one, pee in another. Locking him up may actually be upsetting him and he's doing this to say so :( is his food/water far from his box? (they don't like to eat where they eliminate!) does he have his own area to call his own? (kitty condo, cat shelf, empty open drawer, shelf in front of a window to see the world go by.) does he get enough stimulating playtime and attention so he's not bored and frustrated?
