There are routines, small rituals that help you survive with the monotony. Meals at specific times, counts, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a hot shower – these become your victories. You build relationships with fellow inmates, finding solidarity 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 – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing boredom. 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 confined space from the outside, there is still hope.
