The neon lights throw long shadows on the forms huddled around cluttered tables. Every swig of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that haunts them outside these dark walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking escape in the company of strangers who get it. But the liquor can only hide the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, forgotten like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
Solid Barriers, Unbreakable Spirit
Behind these imposing walls of stone, lies a spirit forged in unyielding determination. Every slab represents a hurdle overcome, every crack a testament to the endurance that defines this place.

They may try to defeat us, but we stand firm. For in these walls, we find not just prison shelter, but also a embodiment of our own inner strength. We are the walls that withstand the storms, and the iron will that carries us onward
Days Within the Bars
The echo of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every step across this cold floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable tension that hangs like a shroud. The glances you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by pain, others flickering with an unyielding determination.
Days here can crawl on, marked only by the rations and the passing light through the tiny squares. Nighttime brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shuffling of bunks and the occasional whisper. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for humanity. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
