The clang of the metal gate echoes through the halls as a new convict enters the cold world of incarceration. Days crawl by, measured in the routine of meals, counts, and the ever-present burden of confinement. Hopes and dreams often disappear behind these walls, replaced by a struggle for survival, both physical and psychological.
The prison population is a diverse group, each with prison their own motivations 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 fails them.
Within these walls, hope often feels like a distant memory, but amidst the grime, stories of strength emerge.
Within These Grey Walls Whispers
A chill seeps through the tarnished stones as you step inside. The air is thick with silence. Each shadow seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to unfold. A faint rustling echoes through the empty chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not simply forgotten. The dim walls whisper secrets in a language you don't understand, tales of forgotten glory.

Concrete and Regret lingering
Regret often feels like a weight, an unwelcome passenger clinging to your mind. It's that hollow ache we feel when looking back on choices, wishing with things could have been different. But with concrete, the material of our world, it's hard to undo the past. Each poured foundation, each erected wall, stands as a testament to decisions made, some smarter than others. The permanence of concrete embodies the finality of regret, a heavy truth that can be both comforting.
