It's with no great pleasure that I sit here and tell
The audience a gory and insidious tale
A story that's important for all of the victims of jail
Who lost their lives while imprisoned in Hell
It's clear the system has failed
I guess you want me to prove it right?
So while I'm letting off steam, I'll give you figures as well
In 2016, in England and Wales
there were 89 suicides from within a cell
That's men, boys, women and girls, taking their lives
choosing to die by killing themselves
As I describe the life of a particular girl
I'd like to think inside your mind
There'd be a ringing of bells
So, listen
The story starts in 2002
The body of a baby girl advancing out of womb
Making noise to playing toys
Yeah, no doubt she was cute
This one must of lived happily we're bound to assume
But at six months, her mother uncovered a tragedy
Discovered she was suffering from muscular atrophy
Despite the love of the family
After three months in a hospice
She did not live
Imagine the actual grief going back to the scene
To have your dead baby handed back to you
Wrapped in a sheet
These kind of memories will never leave the brain
And Sarah Reed was mentally changed
The day they made her take her baby away
From the cemetery and wait, for the undertaker
To make a decision 'bout the fate of a
Girl who spent nine months in a womb
Nine months in her world, Then expelled
To a tomb
There are cells within our bodies
We don't need bodies in our cells.
So let me tell you a short story
A story of a girl. A girl called
Nine year on from 2003 and Sarah Reed
Is arrested by the powers that be.
Apparently shoplifting but police are not listening
Want this Black woman locked in a prison
It's this Great British, great City really
That's no shock to the system
But as it happens though, this anecdote
Is horribly different. It ain't pretty
When this bait bully, PC James Kiddie
Enters the scene
Decides it's battering time
Drags Miss Reed by the hair
Gives her a smack in the eye
A few times till she's flattened and lying
But doesn't leave it there
Brutally, he sat on her spine
She's screaming for air
And you might think I'm actually lying
But don't believe me
You can see the PC. On CCTV
Distribute these beats to Reed
While she pleads to breathe
She's centre of a scandal
Manhandled by a lethal beast
It gets deep. It gets worse
Absurder than fiction
She's encompassed in an empty world
Served a conviction
A crumbling Sense of Self
Suffering from Mental Health
Wondering if there's something or someone
That is meant to help her
End this Hell she's found in
And now she's sectioned
Existing without direction
The hospital bed she sits in is
A picture of depression and oppression
It's upsetting, to relay a scene
That I guarantee you're not expecting
In Maudsley Hospital, and old male patient
Walks across the hall, and stops to talk to Reed
But she's not a fool
She can see in his eyes, he's thinking something horrible
Before an exits possible
By her ankles he's got her caught
His body on top of hers it is pressing
He's caressing. Begins molesting Sarah
Who is defenceless
So she hits him with a fist
Her only weapon
And when police arrive
Yeah, you'll never guess
Who they arrested
There are cells within our bodies
We don't need bodies in our cells
So let me tell you a short story
A story of a girl. A girl called
Despite protests against the arrest
Sarah is taken in to custody and
Suddenly placed on remand
Awaiting trial for Gross Bodily Harm
In Holloway Prison with criminals
Horror and dark
It's not a place, you would lock away
A mind that's gone astray
Everyday she wakes, and faces the guards
Behind these prison gates there isn't space
To assimilate a prisoner's heart
She prays to god for a visitor fast
Who can listen, and comfort her despair
In the months that she is there
In a prison system that pretends there
Isn't any difference between Custody and Care
The story is unfinished, and I'd love to leave it there
But listen hard There's plenty more to tell
23 hours kept within a cell.
Sarah Reed now is desperate in this World
In a Christmas card written to her mother reads
Happy Christmas Mum. P.S. Get me out of jail
And in Holloway, Sarah's a prisoner not a patient
When they withdraw her medication
They distort her mental state and
Now all of these heavy pressures are escalating
In her desperation all she thinks of is escape
And on the second day of 2016,
Her Mother visits
Sarah barely musters a whisper
She just fidgets
Mum begins to cuddle and kiss her
Says, Keep your head high
In the deep embrace, Sarah leans away
And says
Bye
The last words that her mother heard her sigh
And we're not sure if Sarah wanted to leave the world
But on Jan 11th, she was unresponsive in her cell
Well... I guess this is what happens
When you lock with a Jail
Someone who is obviously frail
Rest In Peace: Sarah Reed
Who's no longer in the World
This is Hell
There are cells within our bodies
We don't need bodies in our cells
So let me tell you a short story
A story of a girl. A girl called
Sarah Reed
