According to a criminal complaint, investigators discovered the scheme after they confiscated a cellphone from an inmate at Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater in Bayport this month.
They learned Gratz had given the inmate the phone and messages on it included the two of them laying out delivery plans.
Police and prison investigators caught her with about 233 grams of methamphetamine in her truck when she drove up to the prison on April 8.
