Diana Sanchez can be seen crying out in agony before lying down on a narrow bed in clips of silent surveillance footage.
Her lawyer, Mari Newman, said:"To characterise it as medical care is a joke".
The federal lawsuit filed on Wednesday said that prison officials"cruelly chose convenience over compassion" by not calling for an ambulance after Sanchez's water broke and she was bleeding. However prison workers knew the ride would not be available for hours until the morning booking process was finished.
On Thursday, the Denver County Sheriff's Department said that it has since changed its policy to ensure that pregnant inmates who are in any stage of labour are immediately taken to hospital.
