The glowing lights paint long shadows on the faces huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of cheap liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that haunts them outside these dark walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking solace in the crowd of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, lying like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.
Concrete Walls, Iron Will
Behind these imposing walls of granite, lies a spirit forged in insurmountable determination. Every brick represents a hurdle overcome, every fissure a testament to the resilience that defines this place. It's not just about the edifice; it's about the unwavering will that resides within. Here, adversity is met with steadfastness, and challenges become opportunities to prove the depth of our resolve.
They may try to overcome us, but we stand firm. For in these walls, we find not just shelter, but also a manifestation of our own inner strength. We are the fortifications that survive the storms, and the unbending spirit that propels us forward
Existence Inside the Fence
The prison echo of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every move across this cold floor brings a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud. The eyes you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by grief, others flickering with an unyielding belief.
Days here can stretch on, marked only by the meals and the shifting light through the tiny squares. Darkness brings a different kind of quiet, 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.

Freedom's Cost
