Pregnant accused drug mule Bella Culley toasted bread over a candle and had communal showers in her Georgia prison cell, her mum has claimed. The 19-year-old, who is reportedly due to give birth in December, will be formally sentenced next week after being charged with drug smuggling in Georgia earlier this year. Bella, a student nurse from Billingham, Teesside, went missing in Thailand in May before later turning up in Georgia. She was arrested after 11kg of cannabis and more than 400g of hashish were found in her luggage. Bella's mum, Lyanne Kennedy, revealed the Brit teen has now been transferred to a prison "mother and baby" unit. She previously spent five months in a jail cell at Georgia's Rustavi Prison Number Five The mum described the rough conditions Bella faced in the old cell, such as having a hole in the ground for a toilet, communal showers twice a week and only one hour of fresh air daily. Lyanne also told the BBC that the new unit has better conditions. She said: "She now gets two hours out for walking, she can use the communal kitchen, has a shower in her room and a proper toilet. They all cook for each other. Bella has been making eggy bread and cheese toasties, and salt and pepper chicken." Bella's case has brought attention to the strict laws and punishments Georgia has around drugs and drug smuggling. The Brit has agreed a plea deal with Georgia prosecutors and has been told she will be sentenced to two years in jail. A court in Tbilisi , on Tuesday, heard how her mum, a charity worker, and her dad Niel Culley, 49, an oil rig technician, successfully paid 500,000 Georgian Lari (£138,000) to the court. The teen was previously warned she could face 20 years behind bars. Bella's lawyer said the size of the fine paid would determine the length of her prison sentence, but for a "substantial sum" she could walk away. The huge sum of money raised will not be enough for Bella to walk free, but it has significantly reduced her potential sentence. Bella claimed she was forced to traffic drugs by thugs who branded her with an iron and showed her a video of a man being decapitated, saying the same would happen to her if she did not comply. In a previous hearing in July, she claimed: "I didn't want to do this. I was forced by torture... All I wanted to do was to travel." The teen's lawyer, Malkhaz Salakaia, said Bella pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs into Georgia, after flying from Thailand via the United Arab Emirates.
