Inmate has miracle child after getting pregnant in jail ‘by way of air vent’
An accused murderer claims she conceived a child with a fellow inmate without any physical contact in a Florida jail. The pair allegedly passed semen through air conditioning vents using plastic wrap and bedsheets.
Daisy Link, 29, who is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for allegedly killing her husband last year, gave birth to a baby girl this June, claiming it belonged to inmate Joan Depaz, 23. The unconventional conception reportedly began after Link and Depaz struck up a romance through conversations via their cell’s vents, as per WVSN.
“Being in isolation for so long you begin to spend hours and hours talking to this person, you know, to the point where it’s almost as if you’re in the same room with them,” Link told the publication.

Depaz, keen on fatherhood, supposedly sent his semen to Link, who said: “I put the semen in Saran Wrap every day like five times a day for like a month straight,” according to the same report.
The two had realised their cells were attached by an air vent. Depaz said: “I told her a way that one of my friends had shown me through the vent. Because the vent is like a L-shape, really. It drops right into my vent. From her room, she could throw a pen into the vent and it’ll land right into my vent.”
Link explained how she then got pregnant with Depaz’s semen, which the bloke would roll up with Saran wrap every day.

“He would kind of roll [the semen] up almost like a cigarette and he would attach it to the line that we had in the vent and I would pull it through,” Link said. “From there, I had placed it inside of the yeast infection applicators. I had placed it inside of there and then from there I administered it.”
Currently, Link’s family is looking after the infant, whom Link has called “a blessing” and a “miracle baby”.
Depaz likened Link to “like the Virgin Mary,” denying any physical interaction. Both inmates are still in custody, awaiting their trials.
