The flickering lights cast long shadows on the forms huddled around sticky tables. Every sip of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that haunts them outside these dark walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking comfort in the company of strangers who feel it too. But the liquor can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, lying like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
Concrete Walls, Iron Will
Behind these robust walls of granite, lies a spirit forged in unyielding determination. Every brick represents a hurdle overcome, every crevice a testament to the strength that defines this place.

They may try to overcome us, but we stand firm. For in these walls, we find not just sanctuary, but also a manifestation of our own core strength. We are the bastions that survive prison the storms, and the indomitable force that propels us forward
Days Within the Bars

The glances you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by loss, others shining with an unyielding hope.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the food and the shifting light through the tiny openings. Nighttime brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shuffling of beds and the occasional grunt. There's a tenderness hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for humanity. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
