    What’s the story with mom? I’m curious as to why babies are being born in jail to begin with.

      Probably a twin situation. Sometimes one twin will strangle the other to death in the womb. In Texas this is punishable by jail as soon as you are born.

        They couldn’t bring her to a hospital for the delivery? Maybe postpone her sentence for the sake of the child. Do anything humane?

        I could see maybe if she was a murderer and a flight risk but it’s also possible she’s doing time for something stupid like being black on a Friday. Which is why I ask, what’s the story with mom?

          Even in medieval times you could plead the belly to avoid being incarcerated.

      Given that fetus are now children, because of skydaddy, she should be able to go after the workers of the jail for kidnapping her.
