The neon lights throw long shadows on the faces huddled around greasy tables. Every sip of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that haunts them outside these dark walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who understand. But the drinks can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.

Life Behind the Wire
The echo of metal on metal is a constant melody. Every step across this concrete floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a weight to the air, a palpable tension that hangs like a shroud. The eyes you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened prison by grief, others masked with an unyielding hope.
Days here can crawl on, marked only by the food and the passing light through the tiny openings. Dusk brings a different kind of silence, 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.
