In what seems like an impossible story, two inmates at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami-Dade County managed to have a child together even though they were kept in separate cells and never met in person. Joan Depaz, 24, and Daisy Link, 30, are both locked up for murder charges. They started a relationship through a strange way of talking to each other that led to the birth of their daughter in June 2024.
The unusual love story started when Depaz and Link began talking through the air conditioning vents in their cells. Link told Miami Fox affiliate WSVN that inmates would stand on toilets to reach the vents and talk to people on different floors. They could knock on the vents to get someone’s attention and talk for hours. The two also passed notes and photos through the air system, building what Link called a close connection even though they couldn’t see each other.
