Prison Pete is the NPC in the Prison random event in ScapeRune. Evil Bob appears and teleports the player to a prison in ScapeRune. The player must then locate balloon animals that resemble those shown to them when they pull the lever on the wall. A prison key is obtained in the player's inventory if the player pops a balloon animal. If the key is used on Prison Pete, he will try to unlock the exit gate. The player must give him three correct keys in a row to leave the cell and escape to freedom. The player gets 15 minutes to finish this event or they would fail. Once back in their original location, the player will receive a Random event gift from Prison Pete.

It appears that Prison Pete is the ScapeRune counterpart of Party Pete. Not only do they appear similar, but the prison is a darker, more twisted version of the Party Room with balloon animals instead of inanimate balloons.

Before the Random Events update

Before the Random events update, Prison Pete would not give a Random event gift as a reward. Instead, he would give one of the following (which would be noted if they were not stackable items):

10 law runes
5 sapphire gems
4 uncut ruby gems
Chaos runes
3 Grimy Snapdragon (Rare)
Coins
3 uncut diamonds
6 Grimy Toadflax
527 coins
2 Ugthanki kebabs
47-50 Mithril arrowtips

Trivia

If you log out during the random event, and return more than 15 minutes later, most of your stats will drop down to zero. You will receive a message saying "Your time in prison leaves you strangely weakened." This effect will leave character prone to most of attacks, possibly causing death in dangerous areas, so it is strongly advised to finish the event.
If you are mining in the Dondakan's mine from Between a Rock... and take off your gold helmet during the random event, you will go back to the area without the helmet but would not be teleported out. And if you put the gold helmet back on, you will teleport back.
If you examine the skeletons in the room, you will find that they have odd descriptions... These descriptions refer to the Evil Chicken eating some of them. This is odd, as according to Evil Bob, there is no Evil chicken in ScapeRune, but rather the Cheery old chicken.
- A tall, skinny.
- Alas, poor Yojllik, I knew him backwards! (Yojllik is Killjoy backwards) This is a reference to a line in Shakespeare's Hamlet, which the title character says when looking at a skull: "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well!"
- This one's not very fresh.
- That must be one hungry chicken.
- The chicken's pecked him clean.
- He fell foul of the fowl.
- Endoskeleton Expose.
- What magnificent femurs!
- A handy source of calcium, among other things.
When the teleport spells received a graphical update, this random event did not.
If a player talks to Prison Pete after he escorts someone else back to RuneScape, he will say, "Don't mind me, I was just leaving."
The balloon animals don't show up as yellow dots on the minimap.
Before its update to include a locked gate, the keys originally disabled three magical barriers which blocked the exit, which did not have a door at all.
Unlike most other NPCs, Prison Pete cannot be walked through.
If a player tries to use an item on Prison Pete, he will say, "No thanks, I don't want that right now.
If a player looks to the northwest of the random event with the Orb of Oculus, it is possible to see part of the consortium in Keldagrim.
The sentence used to be 24 hours long rather than the current 15 minutes.
Burnt fish spawns around the room.
