A woman gives birth in the prison hospital: the midwife approaches to examine her and lets out a cry of horror.
That morning, everything was eerily quiet in the prison. During a routine check, one of the guards noticed that one of the pregnant inmates was not feeling well. She called the other guards, and they transferred the prisoner to the prison hospital.
The woman had no family or relatives, and no one had visited her while she was in prison. She had no medical records, and she was already in her ninth month of pregnancy. She felt very ill and could barely speak.
Lying in a stark room, her gaze was lost. But in her eyes, there was no fear, no pain, only resignation.
The midwife, an older, experienced woman, approached the inmate and spoke to her in a gentle voice: “Hello, I will be by your side until the baby is born. May I examine you?”
The woman responded with a simple nod.
The midwife bent down to examine him. Then, suddenly, she let out a cry of horror: “Call a priest immediately!”

“He’s alive!” shouted the midwife.
