The System's Claws
The matrix conjures its tendrils firmly into every facet of our lives. We are subtly conditioned to accept its parameters, unquestioningly following the path it prepares.

Life on the Inside
The walls are always there. You can’t get away from them. They're a constant reminder of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time stops altogether. There are routines, small rituals that help you navigate with the monotony. Meals at specific times, counts, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to appreciate the little things in the ordinary. A clean cell, a good meal – 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 boredom. But sometimes, against all odds, 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 permeates in the air, reminding us that even in destruction, there are hints of a grand past.
