prison walls
Penitentiary's containing perimeter
Prison walls are the physical barriers enclosing a prison, keeping inmates confined.
The phrase often appears figuratively for any confining circumstance: She felt trapped within the prison walls of her marriage.
The image emphasizes not just restriction but the sense of being cut off from normal life, unable to escape one's situation.
