For starters, sorry if this is the wrong place or/and way to post something. This is the first time I´ve ever posted.
I have some thoughts about the time when Illana and the rest of the "what lies under the shadow of the statue?" gang hiked to the Cabin, and it would great if you could help me understand this better.
When they got there Bram points out that the circle of ash it's broken and Illana goes in, checks out the Cabin and says to someone: "He isn't here, someone else has been using it". Now, since then different theories about who was there and isn't anymore, and who's been using the Cabin have come up. One of those explains that in fact the gang went to find "Guy with dark shirt" because he was trapped there, but the guy escaped, hence the broken circle, and that that "someone else" is Christian.
My theory is that Jacob actually used the Cabin as a command center to impart his Will to the Others and that the circle was a protective barrier against "Guy with dark shirt", who somehow broke it and started using the Cabin as a manipulation tool to achieve his goal. Plus I believe that the person that scared Hurley in the ocassion when he found the Cabin was "Guy..." and Christian was with him.
I think that the prison theory came up because in "The Incident" we found out that Jacob that he "lies under the shadow of the statue", so the ownership of the Cabin was put in question. But he could still live in the Statue and command from the Cabin. Maybe he doesn't give orders from the Statue because he doesn't want people to know where he resides. The only flaw in my theory that I can think of is, when fake locke "realized" that Ben never saw Jacob in the Cabin and demanded, as The Others' leader to be taken by Richard to see Jacob, why this one took him directly to the Statue and not to the Cabin? Just because Ben was lying about having seen Jacob, doesn't mean that he isn't in the Cabin. INSTEAD, Richard takes Fake Locke to the Statue without hesitation. What's up with that?

At least write to tell me: "Dude, you're way off! You're mental!!!" I'd really aprecciate some input, because I'm stuck and a fresh point of view might be what it takes to understand the events that happened just a little better.
