A Valdosta State prison kitchen worker is in the Lowndes County Jail, charged with smuggling drugs to inmates.
The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office says 26-year-old Deborah Watson was hiding drugs in her bra... smuggling marijuana, ecstasy, and cocaine to inmates at Valdosta State Prison.
Investigators say they were tipped off that Watson was bringing drugs into the prison.
When they asked to search her, she refused to comply...and quit her job. Lowndes County deputies stopped her as soon as she walked out of the prison and asked to search her.
They say they found three tube socks filled with drugs...worth four-thousand dollars on the street. Authorities say those drugs are worth five to six times as much behind bars.
Right now, she is behind bars, facing several charges. Investigators say Watson has refused to cooperate. Therefore, no inmates have been charged.

There are no cameras in place. They have hand held cameras they use to tape incidents that occur. I still have friends and family working there. I, for one, am glad they caught her. The inmates are aggressive enough without drugs. An inmate high on coke is the last thing they need. She put every employee's life at risk when she brought the drugs in.
Does the prison not have cameras ? If they do then it should be easy to see who this worker came in contact with then they will know who was getting the drugs or give them all a pee test
I bet shes gonna miss all the money she was making! She had the perfect set up.she thought!Now put her in the cage with the rest of her kind!STATE PENN BABY!!!!!!!
