Pregnant Lady Left Alone Inside Jail Cell While Giving Birth Files Complaint

Pregnant Lady Left To Give Birth Along Inside Jail Cell

A pregnant lady who was left alone inside the jail cell while giving birth to her child files complaint and now suing the City of Denver for the incident.

On July 31, 2018, a Colorado woman identified as Diana Sanchez repeatedly calls for help inside the jail cell because she is about to give birth to her son. However, no medical personnel or guard came to help her.

Sanchez had experienced “unnecessary terror, pain and humiliation”, which is supposed to be one of her happiest days. The lady inmate was forced to give birth alone inside the jail cell.

“What should have been one of the happiest days of her life was instead a day of unnecessary terror, pain and humiliation that continues to cause her ongoing emotional trauma,” Mari Newman, Sanchez’s lawyer said.

The case claims that Denver Health Medical Center and six sheriff’s deputies and nurses failed to perform their legal and moral duty. US Senator Kamal Harris has also described the incident as inhuman act.

The 27-year-old woman had been arrested last July 14, 2018 due to identity fraud. She was more than eight months when she was arrested.

The complainant revealed that she told the jail personnel at least eight times that she was experiencing contractions. Instead of calling ambulance, the deputies and nurses gave her an absorbent pad.

The pregnant lady gave birth to a baby boy after six hours of labor and then the medical personnel enter her jail cell before she and her son were brought to the hospital. The deputies also requested a non-emergency van to take her to the hospital.
