A Monroe County woman who brought drugs into the county prison - twice - was sentenced to a state prison term on Thursday in Carbon County court.

Judge Joseph J. Matika sentenced Jacqueline R. Homschek, 25, of Kunkletown to serve a total of 18 to 36 months in a state correctional institution on three charges she previously pleaded guilty. The prison term will be followed by two years of state probation. On Jan. 29 she pleaded to one count each of contraband at the prison, possession of a controlled substance at the prison, criminal use of a communication facility and false identification to law enforcement.Matika rejected a request by court-appointed defense counsel Michael Gough to sentence Homschek to time served. She has been in prison for the past 15 months on the charges.Matika told her, "You were the conductor of the train wreck that is your life." He told her because of her drug addiction problem the state system is better suited to help her. He added, "You had a horrific life."Gough told the court Homschek has lived a tough life. He said her mother died of a drug overdose, she doesn't know where her father is but he was also a drug addict, she spent most of her young life bouncing from relatives and friends to live, and was raped as a young girl.Homschek told Matika, "I just want to put all this behind me." She said she has participated in every program at the prison for her drug addiction.District Attorney Jean A. Engler, when asked about the request for a time-served sentence, told the court the plea bargain in which other serious charges were dropped, reflected her cooperation with authorities. The plea agreement called for a state term of at least 18 months minimum.She was arrested on the first contraband charge on Feb. 1, 2015, by Nesquehoning police who were called to the county prison for a woman with illegal substances after a strip search conducted at the prison turned up a syringe in Homschek's shoe, heroin packets in her bra and a used syringe in her coat pocket.Homschek was at Carbon County Correctional Facility for charges filed two days earlier by Mahoning Township police for providing a false ID during a traffic stop.A few weeks later, on Feb. 25, Homschek was at District Judge Casimir Kosciolek's office in Lansford for her preliminary hearing when she asked to use the restroom. While in there, she stashed heroin and suboxone strips, as well as numerous syringes inside her genitals that were left for her in the restroom by her boyfriend, Dylan Rahmann, 24, of Saylorsburg. Homschek returned to prison and shared the drugs with other female inmates.On March 3, Nesquehoning police were notified by the prison and Operation H Block commenced. Homschek was charged for again smuggling contraband into the prison.In addition to the jail term Matika ordered Homschek to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use, supply a DNA sample and pay court costs of about $1,000.She was given credit for a total of 443 days spent in prison on the charges.
