A woman accused of sneaking methamphetamine into a South Coast prison did so in a bid to provide an inmate with the drug, a court has heard.

Kristen King, 27, fronted Nowra Local Court following allegations she slipped the drug into South Coast Correctional Centre on December 12 last year.

Court documents allege the Sanctuary Point woman successfully managed to get the drug into with the intention of giving it to an inmate.

The quantity of methamphetamine was not disclosed in court documents.

The court heard an investigation into the alleged methamphetamine smuggling led to King’s arrest earlier this year.
