AB Part of a special issue on deaths in custody and detention. The writer discusses the investigation, inquest, and implications of the death of Annie Kelly in a strip cell in the punishment block of the Mourne House Women's Unit at Northern Ireland's high-security Maghaberry Prison in September 2002. He outlines the verdict of the coroner's inquest into her death and the response of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. He asserts that collective responsibility for Annie Kelly's death goes beyond regimes and prisons to include the abject failure of mental health for girls and young women and the processes from care to custody that criminalize them: it extends to sentencing, lack of appropriate alternatives, and deficient aftercare on release.
