Mr Recorder Shakil Najib sentenced her to 30 weeks behind bars and told her: "It is clear you have been given many chances, over and over and you have shown over and over you will continue to re-offend and the public must be protected from you.
"You are a prolific shoplifter with a long history of shoplifting.
"You have been given chance after chance and time after time you have wasted it.
"It is not appropriate to give you any more chances."
