prison gate
Barrier to freedom
Prison gate is the entrance to a prison, typically a heavy, secured barrier that marks the boundary between confinement and freedom.
The term often appears in contexts of release or transition: He walked through the prison gate a free man.
Figuratively, it can represent the threshold of incarceration itself—what separates inmates from the outside world.
