Inmate Delivers Baby Alone in Tennessee Jail Cell

An inmate at a Tennessee jail gave birth alone in her cell after seeking medical help, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. The inmate and the newborn were hospitalized and in stable condition. The incident occurred after medical staff assessed the inmate's condition but left the cell, continuing to monitor the situation and order additional tests. A deputy later found that the inmate had given birth and alerted medical staff. An investigation is likely to be conducted into the incident.
