The flickering lights throw long shadows on the forms huddled around greasy tables. Every gulp of bitter liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the pain that haunts them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking comfort in the crowd of strangers who get it. But the drinks can only hide the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all prison over again.

Days Within the Bars
The rattle of metal on metal is a constant soundtrack. Every stride across this concrete floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a weight to the air, a palpable unease that hangs like a shroud. The glances you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by grief, others flickering with an unyielding belief.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the food and the passing light through the tiny openings. Darkness brings a different kind of silence, broken only by the shifting of beds and the occasional whisper. There's a vulnerability hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
