A woman brought a Bible to the Monroe County jail, but in it was more than just the word of the Lord.

Officers found a strip of suboxone in the book's binding. Sgt. Billy Littleton, with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, made the find. He realized a piece of tape was sticking out of the book.

"They're not in here for making the smartest choices, but they can still be smart with trying to get stuff in. So we have to be one step ahead,” Littleton said, adding that he and other officers are specially trained to inspect all materials that come to the jail.

Susan Webb, 23, of Madisonville made the drop off. Officers identified her on surveillance footage and an inmate confirmed her name. She's now charged with delivery of schedule III narcotics and bringing contraband into a penal institution.

But she's not the only one.

"We've saw (drugs) in various books. Of course Bibles, magazines, postage stamps,” said Chief Jeb Brown, Monroe County Jail Administrator.

Brown said people have dug holes into Bibles to place pills.

"If they can get tobacco or marijuana smuggled in, they will use the pages of the Bible to roll the tobacco or marijuana and smoke it,” according to Brown.

Because of this incident, Brown said the jail staff is no longer allowing people to drop off Bibles. The jail will be in charge of getting some from local churches. If the facility does not have the type of Bible or religious material an inmate wants, jail staff will buy it.

At the beginning of the year, the Monroe County jail restricted all mail to post cards only because people were transferring drugs in envelope glue or on the back of stamps. Staff even cuts the stamps off of post cars before handing it to an inmate.

Officers said there's a drug problem growing nationwide. More drugs on the streets mean more drugs in jails.
