Shocking simulation reveals how two inmates in separate prison cells had a baby without ever meeting

A disturbing simulation has revealed how two inmates in separate cells somehow managed to have a baby despite never actually meeting.

I know, so many questions. But before we start, yes, this is somehow a real story.

Daisy Link is currently in Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade after being convicted of second-degree murder in 2022.

And during her time in prison, Link somehow managed to have a baby with another inmate in the form of Joan Depaz, who is also behind bars on murder charges.

A simulation detailing the pair's unlikely child was originally uploaded by @vividpoet_ before being shared more widely across social media.

Depaz and Link first struck up a relationship by talking to one another through air conditioning vents in their cells, to the point where they would speak to each other every evening to help the time pass by.

They would use strings made from bedsheets and even began sending each other letters.

The viral simulation went on to explain how Depaz and Link suddenly wanted a child, but had the obvious problem of not being allowed in the same room as each other.

Link told WSVN you can 'knock' on the vents and 'hear the people from different floors', and 'being in isolation for so long you begin to spend hours and hours talking' to people. The inmate noted it felt like she and Depaz were 'in the same room'.

Depaz explained he's 'always really wanted to have a baby' but as a result of his charges, knew he wasn't going to 'get to do that for a really long time', and so asked Link if she wanted to try.

How they managed to conceive you may ask? Well, they certainly thought outside the box.

Depaz put his deposit of semen in a bit of plastic 'every day like five times a day for like a month straight,' Link adding he'd 'roll it up almost like a cigarette' and then attach it to a line they made through the vent.

Link then 'placed it inside [some] yeast infection applicators' and then 'administered' it into herself, she recalled to WSVN.

So, while the pair 'never' physically touched each other, Link fell pregnant.

Many would question how on earth such an event is possible, though Dr Fernando Akerman, medical director of the Fertility Center of Miami, has confirmed it is possible for Link to have become pregnant in such a way.

"We estimate that probably their chances were less than five percent, but that is not to say that the chances were zero. So this is absolutely a case that is exceedingly unusual. To my knowledge I’ve never heard or read anything like this," he said.
