In a surprising turn of events, a story from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade has captured national attention. The tale of how a female inmate, Daisy Link, became pregnant while in jail has left many astonished. Link, who is facing charges of second-degree murder, recently gave birth to a baby girl inside the correctional facility. What makes this story even more remarkable is that Link claims she never physically met the father of her child, fellow inmate Joan Depaz, who is also facing murder charges.
According to Link, she and Depaz communicated through the air conditioning vents in their cells, exchanging notes and pictures. Their relationship blossomed, and Depaz expressed his desire to have a child. Together, they devised a plan to conceive a baby while behind bars. Depaz would collect his semen in Saran Wrap, attach it to a line made of bedding material, and pass it through the vent to Link. She would then use a makeshift applicator to inseminate herself. After a few attempts, Link successfully became pregnant, much to the surprise of medical experts.
Dr. Fernando Akerman, a fertility specialist, confirmed that while the chances of conception through this method are slim, it is not impossible. The couple’s baby girl was born at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and she is now five months old. Despite being housed in different jails, Link and Depaz stay in touch through phone calls and video visits to see their daughter.
The miraculous circumstances of this jailhouse pregnancy have raised questions about how such a situation could occur without detection by corrections officers. Miami-Dade Corrections has launched an internal investigation to understand how Link and Depaz were able to carry out their plan unnoticed.
Link and Depaz remain optimistic about their daughter’s future, believing that she has the potential to achieve great things. The couple’s unconventional story has garnered widespread attention, with many intrigued by the unlikely chain of events that led to the birth of their child.
As the investigation into this unique case continues, the world eagerly awaits to see what the future holds for this unconventional family. Despite the challenges they face, Link and Depaz are committed to being present in their daughter’s life and providing her with the love and support she deserves.
