OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – A former employee of the Oklahoma County Jail contacted KFOR after she allegedly witnessed an inmate have a miscarriage and watch her baby be tossed into the trash. However, the jail said the allegations are false.
“Her cellmate started ringing the emergency bell that she’s bleeding, she’s bleeding, she’s bleeding real bad,” a former employee of the Oklahoma County Jail, who wanted to remain anonymous, told News 4.
She’s talking about an inmate that she claims she witnessed having a horrible miscarriage in her cell back in July.
“When she came in, the county has a procedure where they are tested for pregnancy upon entry of the jail,” the former employee said.
She said the pregnancy test was negative. So the inmate didn’t know she was pregnant.
The former employee said she was about three months pregnant when she miscarried.
“She wrapped this baby up in a towel,” she said. “They came in and cleaned up everything and threw the baby away and she witnessed it.”
She said that has led to some mental battles for the inmate.
“She stopped eating. They tried to mentally evaluate her but she was so far gone, mentally, watching them throw away her baby,” she said. “Everybody in the facility knew about it, even the higher ups but nobody assisted her.”
The former employee worked for the jail for 10 years. She said when the jail trust took over operations of the jail in 2020, she was expecting improvement.
