Sheriff Richard K. Jones said Corrections Officer Benjamin Stultz and jail medic Brandy Browder helped to deliver the baby. After the delivery, Stultz attended to the mother while Browder cared for the baby until Hamilton paramedics arrived on the scene.
It was the third delivery at the jail in the past five years, Jones said.
“Today we are pleased mother and daughter are safe and getting the care they need,” Jones said.
Sgt. Kim Peters, sheriff’s office spokeswoman, said the child will either go to a family member or be handed over to Butler County Children Services.
“As of right now the mother is not released or furloughed,” Peters said. “And although we take care of inmates while they are incarcerated we (the county jail) do not cover expenses of the child once they are delivered.”
