A Cornwall woman who was forced to give birth in an Ottawa jail cell has been re- leased to be reunited with her baby. Julie Bilotta,as released by Superior Court Justice Johanne Lafrance-Cardinal during a court hearing in Cornwall Thursday after- noon under strict conditions on $10,000 bail. The decision allowed Bilotta to go to an Ottawa halfway house operated by the Elizabeth Fry Society where she could be reunited with her three-week-old son. Bilotta gave birth to the boy Sept. 29 without medical assistance at the Ottawa- Carleton Detention Centre after she was denied bail Sept. 26 after breaching her re- lease conditions on drug and fraud charges. At the time, her mother Kim Hurtubise, said she was assured by the court her preg- nant daughter would received proper care behind bars. Instead, Bilotta prematurely delivered her baby on the floor of a segre- gation cell after she said guards ignored her pleas for help. The 26-year-old Bilotta, sporting a pink Lululemon jacket and black yoga pants, stood attentively in the prisoner’s docket as defense lawyer Don Johnson briefed the court on a deal reached with the crown pav- ing the way for her release. She softly responded “yes, I do”when Laf- rance-Cardinal asked if she understood her release conditions. She then turned to wave to her mother Kim Hurtubise and forced a smile as she was led out of the courtroom. “Everyone in this room is convinced this is the proper place to go,” said Lafrance –Car- dinal before agreeing to release Bilotta to an Ottawa halfway house operated by the Elizabeth Fry Society. Outside the courthouse, Hurtubise said she was thankful for the support of the Elizabeth Fry Society, which took on Bilot- ta’s cause after word she was forced to give

She said her daughter had recently been harassed by someone from Cornwall, so as much as she would like to have back home, Ottawa is the best place for her now. “I feel my daughter will be in a safe place. I’m just thankful they (Bilotta and her baby) are both okay.” Asked if she feels Bilotta’s recent brushes with the justice and correction system will set her on a new path in life, she was quick to point out that Bilotta has only been charged – “she still hasn’t been convicted.” But she does feel the Ottawa halfway house will likely be beneficial to her daugh- ter. “I think it will be a great place to have any counseling she may need.” Cornwall resident Julie Bilotta is pictured in this MySpace photo. She was released to a halfway house Thursday to be with her newborn soon to whom she gave birth in an Ottawa jail cell Sept. 29. ✄ ✄ ✄
