Send the Pain Below

It all started with a song and a speeding ticket. It spiraled into something so much more. I wrote this story to share with others how bad things can go inside of a building that would otherwise appear to be a safe place for jailed folks to be while they await their due process. Especially if they happen to end up in the Medical Ward, like myself and others did. The last song I heard before entering the back of the Cop car was called ’Send the Pain Below’ - little did I know how deep the Irony of that melody would go.
