The flickering lights paint long shadows prison on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of strong liquor is a shot at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that shadows them outside these dark walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking solace in the crowd of strangers who understand. But the drinks can only cover the despair for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, lying like cigarette butts 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 cold floor brings a shiver down your spine. There's a thickness to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud. The eyes you encounter are etched with secrets, some hardened by pain, others flickering with an unyielding hope.

Days here can stretch on, marked only by the food and the changing light through the tiny openings. Darkness brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the rustling of bunks and the occasional whisper. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
