Life behind bars ain't no cakewalk. It's a world of grey concrete and steel, where time crawls by at the pace of a sloth. The days fuse together, marked only by the echoing of doors and harsh voices inmates.
Every day is a struggle to stay, to find purpose in a place where liberty seems like a dreamy memory. The air is thick with dread, and the shadows hold whispers.

This concrete labyrinth

The concrete pathways are packed with a sea of people, each rushing toward an unseen destination. The air itself vibrates with the bustle of millions living, working, and dreaming within this steel cage. Even the acoustics are a cacophony—a chorus of honking horns mixed with the distant voices of everyday life.
Belief on Lockdown

The Price of Freedom
