[Don't worry, the water remains still. It doesn't seem like there's anything about to grab you or bite your ankles or shank you in the tendons from that direction.
The cells, however... The cells seem to contain corpses.
They seem like they've been down here for years, mottled and emaciated, dried greying skin stretched tight over bodies almost devoid of fat or muscle, all having been drained away with decomposition; it looks almost like they've been mummified by their surroundings and the passage of time. They don't seem to have been in the best mental state, either - the cells are marked up with smeared blood and odd scratches in the walls, and dark marks at about head-level with a standing person. Some of the bodies themselves are propped up against the walls and hugging their knees to their chests, heads down; more of them are lying down on their sides in what's unmistakably the fetal position.
It's depressing, is what it is. Repulsive, but depressing. If you don't look too hard, they seem to be adults.
If you do...well, most of them seem to be adults.]
