Surveillance video of the incident reportedly shows her writhing around on her small bed, covered in sweat, before giving birth to her son in the empty cell
Photo: William Manning/Getty Images After being ignored for hours, a woman gave birth in a Colorado jail cell completely alone, according to a recent lawsuit. Surveillance video footage of the incident, which occurred a little over a year ago, reportedly shows her writhing around on her small bed, covered in sweat, before giving birth to her son in the empty cell.
The lawsuit alleges that when Sanchez was booked, medical personnel noted that she was more than eight months pregnant. A little over two weeks later, according to the complaint, Sanchez told deputies and nurses that she was experiencing contractions “at least eight times that morning.” Shortly afterward, she notified a deputy that she had abdominal pain and her water had broken.
