The glowing lights cast long shadows on the forms huddled around sticky tables. Every sip of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that hunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the company of strangers who feel it too. But the liquor can only mask 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 rattle of metal on metal is a constant reminder. Every step across this gritty floor casts a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable anxiety that hangs like a shroud. The faces you encounter are etched with secrets, some hardened by loss, others masked with an unyielding hope.
Days here can stretch on, marked only by the meals and the changing light through the tiny windows. Dusk brings a different kind of silence, broken only by the shuffling of bunks and the occasional grunt. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
