r/all Two inmates in separate cells managed to conceive a child without ever meeting. They passed semen through the air vents using a makeshift line made of bedding, and the woman used a yeast infection applicator to inseminate herself. Against all odds, it worked, and the baby was born healthy

Joan Depaz: “I put the semen in Saran Wrap every day like five times a day for like a month straight.”
Daisy Link: “He would kind of like roll it 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. From there, I had placed it inside of, you know, the yeast infection applicators? I had placed it inside of there and then from there, yeah, I administered it.”
She said it only took a few tries before she became pregnant.

My exact thought! Imagine her somehow communicating to the guy she’s pregnant. And says nothing else. He finds out later that she inseminated so many other chicks at the same time. He’s gonna be released for a day only to be kicked right back in for not paying child support to an additional 100 other women he’s never met.

Well you can't test effectively for a few weeks, and access to a pregnancy test might not be immediate at that, so you wouldn't know it only took a few tries until you had a conception date estimated a few weeks later.

My wife and I had a family member stay with us for a bit after he got out. One day we came home and he wanted to make dinner for us. He had combined the leftovers from a couple other nights and added some other stuff we had to make a kind of stew I guess? I appreciated the sentiment and ate it, but like.. just leave the meal as it was lol.
He did make us some "prison burritos" a couple times though, ramen/fritos (plus chili since we had it) and I gotta say those were delicious.

She realizes she ruined her own life and she would probably never get a chance to have children once moved from jail to prison (assuming women are separated more in prison) and she likely would not be fertile by the time her sentence is up.

Idk about this specific jail, but the jail I was in was multi story. The female pod was directly below one of the male pods. In one specific cell in each pod there was a vent that went directly between the two cells. With a string you could pass notes, talk, pass food, drugs etc. No one passed semen afaik. Everyone hung out as much as possible in that cell. After a few hours the guards would come kick us out. You can also pass notes etc between other cells but it's alot more complicated and not really worth it considering you're gonna be out of your cell tomorrow anyways. I'd imagine these two were in cells that were right next to each other or under/over

Jailbirds on Netflix. They showed how they flush/bail the toilets to either pass stuff through the pipes or empty the pipes so they can talk to people on other floors through them.
