The flickering lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of strong liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that shadows them outside these shadowy 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 loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.
Concrete Walls, Iron Will
Behind these robust walls prison of granite, lies a spirit forged in adamant determination. Every brick represents a hurdle overcome, every crevice a testament to the endurance that defines this place. It's not just about the edifice; it's about the indomitable will that resides within. Here, adversity is met with grit, and challenges become opportunities to demonstrate the depth of our resolve.
They may try to overcome us, but we stand unmoved. For in these walls, we find not just protection, but also a embodiment of our own fundamental strength. We are the fortifications that survive the storms, and the unbending spirit that guides us through
Existence Inside the Fence
The clang of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every stride 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.

Days here can stretch on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny windows. Darkness brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shifting of beds and the occasional cough. There's a vulnerability hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for understanding. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
