Pregnant Hornell Woman Wants Out of Jail for Delivery
BATH, N.Y. - The decision of whether or not a woman will give birth in the Steuben County jail now lies with the New York State Department of Correctional Services.
On Oct. 27 Amber Lynn Hollar, 22, of Hornell, was sentenced to one year in jail by Hornell city court Judge Joseph Damrath after she failed out of Hornell drug court.
According to court records, Hollar was enrolled in the drug court program for a guilty plea to third-degree forgery — a class D felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.
The plea satisfied the charges of second-degree forgery and criminal possession of a forged instrument that stemmed from an Aug. 19 incident involving checks at the P&C grocery store in Hornell.
Hollar was reportedly not pregnant when she entered drug court. She is scheduled to give birth in December.
Ordway said his office doesn’t have any say over the woman’s fate, but if she has to give birth while incarcerated it will be costly. He said the medical costs the jail will be forced to pay for her labor and an extra guard to watch Hollar while she is at the hospital will likely cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Ordway said if she decides to keep the baby through the duration of her sentence, the jail will have to pay for diapers, baby formula and other items as well.
Ordway said he consulted the Steuben County District Attorney’s Office about the case and he is doing what he can to make sure the woman does not give birth while incarcerated.Like what you read? Consider Buying us a Cup of Coffee! Only $2...Thanks
