Woman facing 'inevitable' jail term as she admits taking drugs into Holme House Prison


A Grangetown woman has been told to get her affairs in order ahead of being sent to prison after she admitted taking drugs into a prison.


Amanda Keenan pleaded guilty yesterday to conveying drugs into Holme House Prison on July 14.


The 43-year-old denied possessing Class C drugs - diazepam and buprenorphine - with intent to supply.


Prosecutor Paul Lee said: “It’s accepted by the defendant she brought these drugs into the prison.”


Amy Dixon, defending, told Teesside Crown Court: “She has one previous conviction for a dishonest offence dating back to 2011.


"There is significant mitigation.”


Judge Michael Taylor adjourned the case for pre-sentence reports until January 7 and bailed Keenan, of Cresswell Road.


He told her: “A prison sentence is inevitable, do you understand? Put your affairs in order.”
