All the prisoners would have to go there and they do not leave

There are no guards or walls or any obstacles that physically keep them at bay. In fact these people were not proclaimed as guilty by any authority. Yet there they are, doing their term, on their own.

Maybe it’s not that they do not want to leave; maybe they simply cannot. Because who will willingly stay imprisoned?

One might try to run away from the wrong doings. Maybe they will succeed and no one will know they are to blame.

Some would have gotten a physical sentience, some might have not. But this prison will always find them and hold them responsible.

Maybe it’s all in their head, because regardless of any physical restriction, you will always be a prisoner of your own conscience..
