The clang of the metal bar echoes through the halls as a new prisoner enters the cold world of incarceration. Days crawl by, measured in the unwavering rhythm of meals, restrictions, and the ever-present pressure of the bars. 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 have been caught of white-collar violations. Still, others are simply unfortunate of a system that breaks 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 ancient stones as you step inside. The air is thick with silence. Every corner seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to come to light. A faint rustling echoes through the deserted chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not simply forgotten. The muted walls whisper secrets in a language you don't understand, tales of a tragic past.

Concrete and Regret lingering
Regret always feels like a weight, an unwelcome passenger clinging to your mind. It's that hollow ache you 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 reflects the finality of regret, a heavy truth that can be both unsettling.
