The flickering lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every gulp of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that shadows them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking solace in the crowd of strangers who get it. But the booze can only cover the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, lying like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

Life Behind the Wire
The clang of metal on metal is a constant reminder. Every stride across this gritty floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a weight to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud. The glances you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by grief, others masked with an unyielding hope.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny squares. Dusk brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shuffling of bunks and the occasional cough. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
