Halley Rayner, 27, was caught with 10 valium tablets, a strip of suboxone - used to treat opioid addiction - and 22 lyrica capsules - for treatment of nerve pain and seizures among other things - secreted in a tobacco packet inside her bra.
Police documents tendered to Port Kembla Local Court said Rayner was waiting in the foyer of the South Coast Correctional Centre to visit her partner on July 19 when Corrective Services officers noticed her reach under her shirt and appear to grab something from her chest area and place it in her handbag.
Officers asked her to accompany them to a private room, where her bag was searched.
Rayner admitted she was trying to smuggle the items to her de facto partner and was charged with three counts of attempting to bring a drug/poison into a place of detention.
She will be sentenced on January 13.
