  Cancer-Stricken Girl Whose Last Wish Was to See Inmate Dad Has Died

  The 10-year-old terminally ill daughter of a prison inmate — who won a battle with his jailers to see her one last time — has died of brain cancer, FOX News has learned. Jayci Yaeger lived long enough to be reunited with her father, Jason Yaeger, earlier this week at a hospice in Lincoln, Neb. Her story prompted a nationwide outpouring of sympathy and pleas to jail officials to let Jason Yaeger be released from a federal prison to see his little girl before her death. On Wednesday, the family’s wishes came true when prison guards escorted Jason Yaeger to the hospice where Jayci lay dying. Jayci, who could not speak, move or eat, could sense that her father was next to her and feel his touch, because she began breathing more heavily during his visit, the family told FOX News. But to their disappointment, the visit lasted only about 30 minutes. Share This

  10 Yr Old Jayci Yaeger Has Died

  The 10 year old girl with brain cancer whose last wish in life was to see her father one last time has succumb to the cancer. Little Jayci Yaeger died but not until seeing her father. If you remember from the news because I did not cover this, the prison where her father was serving time refused to allow him a furlough to visit his dying daughter. This prompted national outrage and support for Jason Yaeger to receive a furlough actually worked and he was granted a supervised visit with his daughter on Wednesday. From FoxNews.com: Jayci Yaeger lived long enough to be reunited with her father, Jason Yaeger, earlier this week at a hospice in Lincoln, Neb. Her story prompted a nationwide outpouring of sympathy and pleas to jail officials to let Jason Yaeger be released from a federal prison to see his little girl before her death. On Wednesday, the family’s wishes came true when prison guards escorted Jason Yaeger to the hospice where Jayci lay dying. Jayci, who could not speak, move or eat, could sense that her father was next to her and feel his touch, because she began breathing more heavily during his visit, the family told FOX News. May the Lord receive this young soul into his care and ease the family’s bereavement. For the record. I am all for supervised visits of prisoners in this position. The eminent death of a child or the parents of a prisoner should be recognized as a special situation. As long as the offender is either escorted or has proven that he (or she) would return after an unsupervised furlough, I have no problem with their temporary release. In this case, Jason Yaeger only has a few months left on his sentence and is due to be released to a half-way house. Why his furlough wasn’t originally granted is beyond me. On the issue of crime and punishment I am the first to say people who commit crimes deserve what they get. But with that, provisions can be made for those who are not in Supermax to visit a dying child or parent. Comments closed.
