The clang of the metal gate echoes through the halls as a new prisoner enters the cold world of incarceration. Time crawl by, measured in the routine of meals, lockdown, and the ever-present pressure of imprisonment. Hopes and dreams often fade behind these walls, replaced by a fight for survival, both physical and emotional.
Within its confines are individuals from all walks of life, each with their own reasons for being incarcerated. Some have committed acts of harm, others prison have been found guilty of white-collar crimes. Still, others are simply trapped of a system that disappoints them.
It's a world of constant tension and uncertainty, but amidst the grime, stories of strength emerge.
Within These Grey Walls Whispers
A chill seeps through the tarnished stones as you step inside. The air is thick with the weight of untold stories. Each shadow seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to unfold. A faint rustling echoes through the empty chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not alone. The muted walls whisper secrets in a tongue you don't understand, tales of forgotten glory.

Concrete and Regret lingering
Regret sometimes feels like a weight, an unwelcome passenger clinging to your mind. It's that hollow ache they feel when looking back on choices, wishing for things could have been different. But with concrete, the material of our world, it's difficult to undo the past. Each poured foundation, each erected wall, stands as a testament to decisions made, some smarter than others. The permanence of concrete mirrors the finality of regret, a heavy truth that can be both isolating.
