The clang of the metal bar echoes through the corridors as a new convict enters the gray world of custody. Days crawl by, measured in the routine of meals, counts, and the ever-present pressure of the bars. Hopes and dreams often diminish behind these walls, replaced by a battle for survival, both physical and psychological.
The prison population is a diverse group, each with their own motivations for being locked up. Some have committed acts of cruelty, others have been found guilty of white-collar violations. Still, others are simply trapped of a system that breaks them.
It's a world of constant tension and uncertainty, but amidst the dirt, stories of humanity emerge.
The Grey Walls Whisper
A chill seeps through the worn stones as you step inside. The air is thick with the weight of untold stories. The very walls themselves seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to reveal itself. A distant rustling echoes through the empty chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not alone. The grey walls whisper secrets in a dialect you don't understand, tales of joys long vanished.

Concrete and Regret persistent
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 with 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 prison that can be both comforting.

- Seek out your intrinsic power. It is within you.
Never forget that possibility still shines. Keep moving forward, and believe that you are not alone in this struggle.
