The NLU Delhi University bus pulls up to Delhi Central Jail, its brakes hissing as it slows to a stop outside the massive complex. The winter air is crisp, but the tension inside the bus is sharper.
The selected research students sit in stiff silence, adjusting their ID cards or sneaking anxious glances at the looming gray walls outside. We all are wearing Law University's formal uniforms- black coats, black trousers, white shirts, and, black ties.
I exhale slowly, pressing my lips together. No matter how much I mentally prepare, the reality of where I am crashes down like a gavel in a courtroom.
Central Jail of India. Asia's largest prison complex. The walls stretch endlessly, thick concrete topped with layers of barbed wire. Gun towers stand at intervals, where armed guards watch from above like silent sentinels. The main iron gates are massive-designed to keep monsters in and the world out.
Even though the morning sun hangs above us, the place feels gray, like it absorbs light instead of reflecting it.
A few hundred meters away, I can make out a second gate, leading deeper into the high-security zones. The scent of rust, metal, and something stale and unwashed clings to the cold air.
I glance around. The nine other students who were selected seem just as overwhelmed, shifting awkwardly as they take in the atmosphere.
The last time I walked through these gates, I was thirteen. A victim. A girl seeking justice, shaking with rage, fear, and something I couldn't name back then. I remember gripping Chachi's hand so tightly that my nails dug into her skin, my stomach twisting as I was led through these very corridors. That time, I was here because of him-a boy who thought he could take what wasn't his. A monster I sent to jail. And now, I return- not as a victim, not as a girl begging for justice, but as a law student.
