The heavy steel door slammed shut, echoing in the vast, cold hall. The feeling of a cold draft ran down my spine as I stepped inside, swallowed whole by the concrete jungle that was prison. Life here is cruel, every day a fight for survival. We exist in a shattered world, ruled by unspoken laws and defined by danger.

Outside, the world spins on, oblivious to our trapped existence. Fantasies of freedom flicker like dying embers, fueling a desperate longing for something more. We are branded as criminals, discarded by society. Yet, within these walls, a community emerges, forged in the crucible of hardship.

Redemption feels like a distant star, but we cling to it nonetheless. Each day is a ordeal, a chance to find purpose amidst the chaos. Perhaps one day, the bars will open and we'll walk free. But until then, we survive.

Throughout history, the aspiration for freedom has driven countless individuals and societies to make daring stands. Yet, the path to absolute liberty is rarely a straightforward one. Often, freedom comes at a significant toll.

• Many revolutions have been waged, leaving behind scars of loss that serve as a sobering reminder of the burden of independence.
