teenager dies in maghaberry prison

teenager Annie Kelly found hanging in her cell, at Maghaberry prison.

Teenage prisoner Annie Kelly was found hanging in her cell at maghaberry prison. Annie who was only 19yrs old, was sent to maghaberry prison, which holds mainly adult male prisoners. Annie who the authorities deemed so violent she had to be sent to an all male adult prison, instead of the female wing of a Young offenders centre. Annie, who had spent most of her short life in social services care homes, and young offenders centres, had to be accompanied by a team of elite riot squad prison officers, where ever she went in maghaberry prison, is it any wonder she commited suicide, treated like an animal all her life, cuffed and shackled continually, locked up in the isolation unit for long periods on end, with no female company. Annie was disturbed, and had violent tendencies, she should not have been put in prison, to rot in the isolation unit, but with no one to fight for rights, or stand up for her, Annie was left at the mercy of notoriously violent male bully maghaberry screws. Annie should have been sent to a hospital for treatment and counselling and helped to rebuild her self esteem and life, instead Annie was abandoned by cold hearted beaurocrat snobs, to be tormented by macho male screws. It is easy to dismiss Annie as a violent criminal but Annie was a product of state care homes, under the supervision of meely mouthed middle class beaurocratic social worker snobs. RIP annie kelly, St martin pray for her.

'the captive raised her hand and pressed it to her brow;'i have been struck', she said'and i am suffering now; Yet these are little worth, your bolts and irons strong; and were they forged in steel, they could not hold me long' the prisoner 1845.
Anne was a vunerable young person, had she been a university student, there would be uproar at her demise, but because she was working class, and has no immediate relatives, the circumstances surrounding her death, in an all male adult prison will be forgotten. the suspiscious thing about her death, was that she died at the weekend, a time when most state sponsored loyalist sectarian murders are carried out, Marty o hagan, Gerard lawlor, Gavin brett, all died at the weekend, to stifle the outcry at their murders perhaps, knowing news reports are scarce at the weekends, like the government choosing to conveniently release bad news at certain times, in this case news buried untill monday.
