The clang of the metal door echoes through the passageways as a new prisoner enters the concrete world of custody. Days crawl by, measured in the routine of meals, restrictions, and the ever-present burden of confinement. Hopes and dreams often fade behind these walls, replaced by a fight for survival, both physical and mental.
Every cell houses a story waiting to be told, each with their own causes for being confined. Some have committed acts of harm, others have been found guilty of white-collar offenses. Still, others are simply trapped of a system that breaks them.
Within these walls, hope often feels like a distant memory, but amidst the dirt, stories of resilience emerge.
These Grey Walls Are Filled with Whispers
A chill seeps through the tarnished stones as you step inside. The air is thick with silence. Every corner seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to reveal itself. A faint rustling echoes through prison the empty chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not alone. The muted walls whisper secrets in a language you don't understand, tales of joys long vanished.

Concrete and Regret gnawing
Regret often feels like a weight, an unwelcome passenger clinging to your mind. It's that hollow ache you feel when looking back on choices, wishing that 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 better than others. The permanence of concrete reflects the finality of regret, a heavy truth that can be both comforting.
