For anyone confused (I had to read it twice)...
1) Mom was a cop, and got busted for growing weed.
2) Mom tells Daughter to start making Meth to get the loot to bail her out.
3) Daughter gets busted making Meth (apparently when Mom starting telling the other inmates in jail with her, of her plan to get bail).
4) Now they are both in the pokey, needing even MORE money to get bail.

Daughter Caught Making Meth To Bail Out Mother
Mother Was Police Officer Facing Pot Charges
(AP) LINCOLN, Ill. There is a bizarre twist in the case of a former Lincoln, Illinois police officer facing marijuana possession charges. Her 24-year-old daughter has been charged with trying to make methamphetamine to raise bail for her mother.
Authorities say Brianna Strohl's mother, Diana Short, asked her daughter to collect materials to make methamphetamine because Short needed to post another $7,500 to get out of jail. Authorities were tipped onto the plot by Logan County Jail inmates.
Short, who had been a Lincoln police officer until her arrest, previously was accused of growing marijuana plants in her basement.
Strohl and Short both were charged yesterday with several felony counts related to making methamphetamine. Short now needs $25,000 to get out of jail, and Strohl is being held in lieu of ten-thousand dollars bond.
