Roberta Bell, a grandmother of eight, lost her job as a Louisiana prison guard after she offered to care for an inmate's newborn baby. She's said she has no regrets.

Bourgeois was sent back to prison to complete the remaining two months of her sentence, which she was serving for using drugs while on parole, she said. She gave the hospital permission for Bell to get her son.

She also had loaded up on diapers, wipes and baby outfits. Some of the other corrections workers at the facility brought her a bassinet for him to sleep in. “She and Kayson are welcome to stay here for as long as they need to,” said Bell, who also looks after her grandchildren every summer. “I’m excited for Katie and what the future holds for her.”
