Sandra Bland, She hanged herself

after In Detention by Chris van Wyk
She hanged herself
She was depressed and lay on the floor where her picture was taken
Her medicines were kept from her so she could not suicide
She assured everyone she was angry, but just fine
She was eventually tased and died during an epileptic seizure
She hanged herself depressed over the death of a baby
She was a bad driver and that came back to haunt her
She hanged herself while being elated over a new job/life
She was calm on the phone, that can be a sign
She could not access her medicines and could not suicide
She was duplicitous in her intake forms
She was just fine and she hanged herself
She replaced the reciever and was depressed
She didn't know one could be too black and too high in an orange jumper
She was depressed and looked at the bag…
She looked at the bag and needed medicines but didn't want to bother anyone
She went into withdrawl as the depression returned and she touched the bag, replaced the reciever and
She didn't bother anyone as she hanged herself
She hung from her own history while being tased on the floor and remembering the baby…
