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

Life on the Inside The Grind
The walls are always there. You can’t escape them. They're a constant weight 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 navigate with the monotony. Meals at specific times, rolls call, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to find solace in the ordinary. A clean cell, a hot shower – these become your victories. You build relationships with cellmates, finding comfort in shared experiences. You have to be wary of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking prison – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing isolation. 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.
