A ‘rare incident’ occurred in the United States where a prison inmate became pregnant and gave birth without sexual intercourse.
According to an exclusive report by WSVN, a local American broadcaster, on the 19th (local time), Daisy Link (29, female), who was imprisoned at Turner Gilford Knight Prison in Miami-Dade County, Florida, gave birth to a daughter a few months ago.
It has been two years since he was sent to prison without bail in the summer of 2022 after being accused of shooting and killing his boyfriend.
Link became pregnant in October of last year without any physical contact with anyone. Local correctional authorities were shocked, and Link’s family called for an investigation into the truth.
And on June 19th, Link held a healthy baby girl in his arms at a hospital outside the prison.
As a result of genetic testing, the baby’s biological father was revealed to be Joan Depaz (24, male), who was also incarcerated in the same prison as Link on murder charges.
Link and Depaz were isolated on different floors and had never had sex or even met in person.
“I’ve never seen him,” Link told WSVN. “I’ve never met him,” he said. “He’s a miracle baby.” “It’s a blessing,” he said.
Depaz also said, “There was absolutely no physical contact whatsoever. “Like the Virgin Mary.”
So how on earth did the two become pregnant?
The key to the mystery was unexpectedly in the ‘vent’.

Link said, “There is an air conditioning vent in the cell, and you can talk to people on other floors through it. “I fell in love with Depaz, who was imprisoned downstairs, while exchanging notes and photos through the vent,” he said.
It is said that Link from the ‘upper house’ and Depaz from the ‘lower house’ talked through the vent for several hours a day.
Then one day, Depaz confessed to Link, “I always wanted to have children,” and ended up delivering his semen to Link through a vent.
They used a method of attaching the bedding by rolling it up like a rope to a ventilation shaft that was directly connected to the cell in the upstairs link in an ‘L’ shape, and then sending the semen in a plastic bag.
Link said, “Depaz hung a plastic pack on a line and lifted it up by pulling the line. “And then he put his semen in my body,” he explained.
This unusual relationship continued five times a day for a month.
And after some time, Link did indeed have Depaz’s child.
Is this actually possible?

“It’s possible,” said Dr. Fernando Ackerman, director of the Miami Fertility Center.
Dr. Ackerman said, “It is a very unusual case, with a probability of less than 5%, which is very unlikely. This is a case of neither hearing nor seeing. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible,” he explained.
The 5-month-old baby is currently being raised by Depaz’s mother, or paternal grandmother.
Link and Depaz, who were transferred to different prisons due to this incident, are talking on the phone and interviewing the baby via video call.
“I think my daughter can become anything,” Link said. “I think she will be a great person.”
“I feel like a celebrity here,” Depaz said.
