There are routines, small rituals that help you cope with the monotony. Meals at specific times, headchecks, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to find solace in the ordinary.

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.

These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this confined space from the outside, there is still hope.
