Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

My 28 year old daughter just had her baby. She had a DNA test of the baby and the baby's suspected father. They match. They are not a couple and doesn't want child support. Our daughter is like,y going to serve some short time in federal prison in about 2 months. I am her mother asking this question. Can I, as her baby's grandmother, keep this baby in my custody tills she gets out of prison? The father willingly took the DNA test. Can our daughter give her Daddy and I custody of baby while she is gone?
