The flickering lights throw long shadows on the faces huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that hunts 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 cover the despair for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.

Life Behind the Wire
The clang of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every step across this concrete floor brings a shiver down your spine.

Darkness brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the shuffling of bunks and the occasional grunt. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for humanity. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
