Its Vicious Hold

Life on the Inside Concrete Jungle

The walls are always there. You can’t escape them. They're a constant reminder of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time moves differently. There are routines, small rituals that help you survive with the monotony. Meals at specific times, headchecks, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a letter from home – these become your victories. You build relationships with fellow inmates, finding strength in shared experiences. You have to be street smart of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing hopelessness. But sometimes, in the midst of chaos, there are moments of beauty. A shared joke, a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this concrete prison from the outside, there is still hope.

A sense of wonder resonates in the air, reminding us that even in loss, there are echoes of a extraordinary past.
