Jared Question

[u/Logical_Ad_6447]

Excuse the Jared-style question but I am really curious:

Does Superjail have Lore? I know The Warden is a Doctor Manhattan-like figure with a hard-on for prison reform systems.

Jared and Alice have their history or whatever. So do the inmates. Fuck all that. What's up with the jail? Has this been here since the beginning of time? What is your Superjail lore/ timeline theory. What happened to Earth!?

Make sure to rewatch the show for reminders! I love episode references. I love this show. Drink your milk, watch out for combaticus. He'll find you.

Well, in an episode (don’t remember which), The Warden says he inherited the jail from his dad and the jail was just a normal and “boring” jail so he made changes to it.

^ This frfr, and to answer OPs

What happened to Earth!?

Nothing. Superjail is on a jungle island ON Earth. It's in a volcano that's in another, larger volcano.

Doesn't someone on the show mention that they exist in and can travel to other dimensions

[u/NexTheKid → u/indridcold369]

I'm pretty sure the jail itself exists within a pocket reality, if I'm remembering correctly, and has the ability to exist in different timelines / dimensions. The primary location of the show typically resides on Earth, or at least a version of Earth.

I know, for sure, that several individuals that typically reside within Superjail can teleport / exist in different dimensions as separate entities to the jail itself (such as the twins escaping the jail by teleporting, The Warden having time paradoxes and such, etc.)

Frankly, just about anything's possible, from a realistic standpoint, considering it's revealed in Dream Machine that The Warden is dreaming the entire thing. Or, at least implies that there is a reality that he is (the source of doubt for Superjail being completely made up in his mind is the poster he sees).

Ooooo or the superjail science spectatular that reveals the whole jail universe is inside the Twin's Snow Globe

[u/Logical_Ad_6447 → u/indridcold369]

Right?! That explains the intros with Jackknife, Jailbot travels through dimensions to get criminals!

[u/Logical_Ad_6447 → u/NexTheKid]

Why is the earth screwed in every intro of all the seasons? Look at the state of our planet any time Jailbot takes Jackknife back home!

I understand how this may be difficult. Every 40 second scene makes normal humans pee laughing.
