Woman got pregnant in jail by inmate passing semen through air vents

Who says romance is dead?

Many would argue that giving birth is one of the most beautiful things you can do in life, but it's rare that the conception takes place with the partners in different rooms.

In a world where weird sex positions and bedroom trends are rife on the internet, it's still shocking to hear that a woman managed to get pregnant in jail, which isn't exactly the most romantic or appropriate setting.

What's even more impressive is that Daisy Link managed to get pregnant while in solitary confinement, and it certainly wasn't an accident, although it's perhaps less surprising when you hear that this unusual arrangement took place in Florida.

It's alarming to think of women being pregnant behind bars, where they're unlikely to have access to all the pre-natal yoga classes and dietary needs women need to help make a healthy baby.

One British teen is still facing a hefty sentence in Georgia after being accused of drug trafficking earlier this year, and she has complained about the treatment she's received despite her pregnancy.

But in the case of 30-year-old Link, prison officers were left baffled when she became pregnant despite her restricted access to the outside world, let alone a potential partner.

It turned out that she had begun to connect with accused killer Joan Depaz, and after opening up about her desire to have a baby, he gladly agreed to help out.

Link, who was in jail after fatally shooting her husband Pedro Jimenez in 2022, devised a plan with Depaz that saw him pass down his semen through air conditioning vents before she inserted it herself using a yeast infection applicator.

"I put the semen in Saran Wrap every day, like five times a day, for like a month straight," Depaz said in the least romantic way imaginable.

Link added: "He would kind of like roll it up almost like a cigarette and he would attach it to the line that we had in the vent, and I was pulling it through."

After only a few tries, she became pregnant, and she shared her delight while medical professionals and prison staff were no doubt confused about how this had come about.

She said: "I can't believe it worked. I think everything happened for a reason. She's a miracle baby. She's a blessing.

"She could be anything. I think that she's gonna be something great."

Link could potentially face life in prison if she is convicted of the murder of her husband, and the baby, who was born on June 19, is currently in the care of Depaz's mother.
