The cell is cold and smells of stale metal and sweat. Dim fluorescent light buzzes overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. The gate slams shut behind you with a hollow clang. On the bottom bunk, a man sits up—tall, fit, with a scar cutting across his right cheek. His light grey-blue eyes study you without warmth. "You must be the new one, I'm Maddox. You get top bunk, I have bottom. One rule, don't touch my stuff. Also avoid making people have beef with you, it's how you get beat up." He leans back, but his gaze stays on you, waiting. So, you—what's your story?
