#look it doesn't matter they'll let someone visit in the middle of quackity's sessions etc

I don’t know if you remember but after Sapnap’s visit Sam changed the protocol of retrieving visitors. He stopped using the harming potions (such as in Tommy and Ghostbur’s visits) to get a visitor out of the cell. I know that for Quackity there was an obvious reason but for Tommy? No.

see, the thing is, he does use the harming pots in order to retrieve c!tommy from the cell after he's revived (4:30 in this vod) -- his reasons for not retrieving c!Tommy has nothing to do with his having to go there with the bridge in order to get him out (which is something that he actually is kinda misleading about to c!Ranboo in the conversation they have after c!Tommy dies, tbh), but instead has to do with him being too paranoid about security to let c!Tommy out of the main cell, through the harming pots or not. To be honest I don't think we see how c!Quackity left the prison except for in one case, where c!Techno had just disappeared through the stasis pearl, where c!Quackity does use the bridge in order to get across the lava. And c!Tommy comes back through the bridge during the Ghostbur debacle because c!Sam never puts down the netherite barrier, and you know, c!Tommy is trying to get into the cell to kill c!Dream with the axe he's waving around so that might have to do with that decision.

technically you can probably argue that c!Sam changed protocol for prisoners leaving the cell with c!Quackity, not c!Sapnap's visit, but honestly after c!Tommy dies the only real "visitor" we see that isn't c!Quackity (who operates by his own rules, obviously) was Ghostbur, who I still don't think Sam let into the prison just in order to visit. c!Techno was a ploy in order to trap him in the cell, and we know that c!Sam banned visitation after c!Tommy died and that he continued to disallow certain people from entering the prison, such as c!Sapnap. So honestly just the protocol around visitors in general kinda gets fucked over when c!Tommy dies, not that he wasn't fucking with it before. he doesn't use the harming pots after retrieving c!Tommy post-revival but that's also because c!Dream doesn't have a single normal visitor after the whole thing with c!Tommy, so.
