Write a detailed description of a chilling scene inside a prison with stairs.
assistant
Black and grey stone forms the floor and walls of the prison hallway, punctuated by gaping holes where doors once stood. The heavy material muffles sounds coming from inside the cells so that only the sound of footsteps against the ground are audible. Moist, dirt-caked stairs -- apparently the source of the ever-present earthy odor -- spiral upward.
