#dsmp prison

or like this?

It was confirmed by Dream and Punz that it was for Dream, but Dream and Sam said it was meant for Tommy.

Punz confirmed that the disc finale was staged and that Dream was put in the prison on purpose.

Although it was confirmed to have been built for Dream, that does not make complete sense. We were told by Sam that he changed the plans halfway through to make them less humane. We see the evidence of this with the fact that Sam had already built a courtyard. If Dream built the prison for himself, why would he make the conditions less humane?

Sam said these changes were made because the prison was meant for Tommy. Dream also said that although the prison was originally meant for someone else, it was now meant for Tommy.

The prison also noticeably includes Tommy's triggers. The small black box, the lava, and having to get rid of his items.

The best conclusion of all of this evidence is that the prison was always meant for Dream and Tommy to get trapped in there together.

None of the visits to the prison were done without a reason. Sapnap, Ranboo, Techno, and Bad all played some role in helping him complete his plan. Bad got the prison blueprints, Ranboo helped deliver them, and Techno broke him out. Sapnap gave a smilyface message to Ranboo, sending him into enderwalk. Dream also acted a certain way to try to get sympathy from the people who visited him. This was done on purpose, with clear planning on how they would help him complete his plan.

This makes it clear that getting Tommy to visit the prison, and having enderwalk set off tnt, trapping Tommy inside, was not just done by Dream on a whim just because he could. It was always the plan. The prison was built to be just like exile, as Dream said to Tommy when he was in the prison. It was another way to get Tommy alone.

This is why the prison was built with Tommy's triggers. It was to put him in the headspace of exile.

Something else to consider is the timeline of when things happened. Exile started December 4th. The prison started being built December 6th. Tommy escaped exile December 16th. The prison was finished January 7th.

Tommy escaped exile about in the middle of when the prison was being built. If a major role of the prison was to keep Dream and Tommy inside together, Tommy escaping exile was probably what made Dream change the design to make it more secure.

Dream wasn't initially intending to kill Tommy. We know this because Sam said Dream didn't even want books in the new prison design. When Tommy started standing up to Dream in the prison, and said he didn't believe the revive book worked, that is when Dream killed him. Having control over Tommy is one of the most important things to Dream.

The one thing Dream miscalculated about the prison was Sam and Tommy's relationship. He did not know how guilty Sam would be over trapping Tommy in the prison with Dream.

He expected Sam to follow the rules of the prison. Dream made the prison rules so that the person would get stuck in the cell if there was a security issue. He expected Sam to keep Tommy in the cell until the security issue was figured out. He was counting on Sam not being able to figure out what the security issue was.

“Hey Roommate” 

He was talking about these strangely named stone blocks hidden in this chest outside the prison.

Now, you might ask

Why are these strange blocks a danger to the prison's security?

You see, the keycard system in the prison works similairly to how a redstone sorting mechanism works. You use a hopper with one slot being the "unlock" item (in case of the prison being the Warden's Keycard) and four single placeholder blocks (they can be anything).

Mind you these need to be named something very secretive.

Now, once you throw a keycard, the comparator it is attached to gives out a signal strong enough to start up a redstone mechanism that "accepts the card" ( since only the keycard can stack, after all) .

This comes with the downside tho that this is JUST AS MUCH POSSIBLE TO DO WITH YOUR PLACEHOLDER ITEM. Your Keycard door is just as secure as the blocks you use as it's placeholders, since they're the only stackable items in the hopper.

Now, back to Sam.

Do you get where this is going?

The item revealed in the chest is such a placeholder block, most likely used all over the prison.

Which you can use to open any Keycard door/mechanism.

My man's got literal KEYCARD SUBSTITUTES lying around for ANYONE to grab.

If these get into the wrong hands...
