The cold, gray walls confine you. Time crawls. Each day feels the last: a monotonous cycle punctuated by grub and guard rounds. Communication with the outside reality is limited. Hope becomes your constant accomplice. You search for identity in this restricted existence.
You try to keep a sense of self. There are flickers of humanity: a helpful guard, a fleeting conversation with another inmate, the seldom seen kindness of a visitor. But these moments are transient, quickly swallowed by the harsh reality of serving your time.
The weight of your past presses on you. Rehabilitation feel like distant, elusive aspirations. You question if you'll ever truly find your way out, not just from the bars, but from the emotional shackles that enfold you within.
