A woman who says she was left to give birth to her baby alone on the floor of her jail cell in Maryland has filed a federal lawsuit, alleging that jail nurses ignored her screams and pleas for help for six hours.
Valentine, who had never given birth before, said she feared that her baby would die and she might bleed out while delivering her. But realizing that no one was going to help, she said she was determined to try to deliver the baby on her own.“In my brain anything could happen,” she said of her fears. “I felt like I was in the hands of the devil, honestly.”
County spokesperson Danielle Weaver said the county had no comment. PrimeCare did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. Following Sanchez’s delivery, the Denver County Sheriff’s Department, which runs the jail, said it changed its policy to ensure that pregnant inmates who are in any stage of labor are immediately taken to the hospital. Previously, decisions about whether to move a pregnant inmate were left to jail nurses but deputies were authorized to call for an ambulance for someone in labor.
