Two women were sentenced to a total of 160 hours of
community service after they pleaded guilty to breaches of the Correctional
Services Act.
Convicted are 58-year-old Celestine Blagrove of a Kingston address and 44-year-old Simone Hemmings of a Clarendon address.
A third woman, 44-year-old Angella Blagrove, who is Celestine's sister, and who was also charged with the other women, had the charges against her dropped.
The investigating officer Detective Corporal Kirk Roache told the court that on March 16 the women were caught smuggling $2,000 in tubes of toothpaste to inmates at the St. Catherine Adult Correctional Centre.
Prison officials who were checking the packages the women brought for the inmates, found the notes inside separate plastic bags inside the tube containing toothpaste.
The police were called and the women arrested and charged.
They were later granted station bail in the sum of $50,000 each.
