The clang of the metal door echoes through the corridors as a new convict enters the concrete world of incarceration. Days crawl by, measured in the unwavering rhythm of meals, counts, and the ever-present burden of confinement. Hopes and dreams often fade behind these walls, replaced by a fight for survival, both physical and emotional.
Within its confines are individuals from all walks of life, each with their own motivations prison for being confined. Some have committed acts of violence, others have been convicted of white-collar crimes. Still, others are simply trapped of a system that breaks them.
Life behind bars is a harsh reality, but amidst the darkness, stories of strength emerge.

A chill seeps through the tarnished stones as you step inside. The air is thick with the weight of untold stories. Every corner seem to hold their breath, waiting for something to reveal itself. A subtle rustling echoes through the empty chambers, and you can't shake the feeling that you are not simply forgotten. The grey walls whisper secrets in a tongue you don't understand, tales of forgotten glory.

Concrete and Regret gnawing
Regret always 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 unsettling.
