A woman has admitted bringing cannabis into a prison facility this year.

Lavida Codrington, 38, from Devonshire, pleaded guilty in Magistrates’ Court yesterday to a charge that she brought high-risk articles, specifically drugs, into a correctional facility in St George’s on July 11.

She also pleaded guilty to supplying cannabis in an increased penalty zone on that same date and bringing contraband, specifically matches, into a prison.

Magistrate Craig Attridge ordered a social inquiry report on Ms Codrington and released her on bail until January 7, when the matter is expected to return to the court for sentencing.
