3/16 JAMIE SCOTT UPDATE
Mrs. Rasco received word last evening that Jamie was rushed
to the hospital in terrible pain with the intention of getting her
pain stabilized and returning her directly back. She
was examined by a doctor who determined that infection had
spread through her entire body and that the veins in her neck
had collapsed. He said he would not treat her pain and then
release her back to the prison as they wanted because she
would die from the blockages and the constant catheter infections.
The doctor angrily stated that the MDOC had dropped the ball
when it came to Jamie's medical care. He said she should have
been admitted long-term to clear up her infection when she
was previously sent there instead of quickly returning
her back to the prison on antibiotics. He scheduled her to have
emergency surgery to insert a shunt into her groin for the
purposes of dialysis.
As of the time of this posting Mrs. Rasco doesn't know if Jamie
is still in the hospital or back at the prison, as usual the prison is
not forthcoming with information and the family is in a constant
state of anxiety and extreme worry. All we can say with certainty
is that the behavior of the prison is what is truly criminal when it
comes to the medical care of Jamie Scott. The prison is well
aware of everything that has been happening and is taking far
too many risks with Jamie's life.

THIS JUST IN!:
Dr. Gloria Perry at CMCF where Jamie Scott is an inmate
just denied her mother, Mrs. Rasco, her three children
and her two grandchildren from coming to visit Jamie
this weekend. All six were denied by this doctor even
though she knows they're highly upset at what's happening
to Jamie and are extremely anxious to see her, and
now with this surprise are even more worried than before!
Mrs. Rasco asks that everyone contact her office and
ask why she is denying Jamie visitation with her family
during such a critical time:

Update 3-14
Nancy Lockhart March 14 at 8:50pm Reply
Jamie Scott still is suffering with infection in her catheter and
her weakness has progressed to the point that she once
again can barely walk. She was taken to the hospital where
her neck was cut at least 3 times, which was extremely
painful as the anesthetic did not kick in properly during the
procedure. Proper catheter placement was unable to be
obtained after approximately 2 hours of what was supposed
to be a 30 minute surgery. She was given dialysis but her
catheter remains infected. She was put on antibiotics and
returned to the prison infirmary! Jamie was told that they
would return her to the hospital on Monday to try once again
to move the catheter and unplug it.
Jamie did want it to be known that during a particularly rough
period for her where she was crying in the prison last Thursday,
one of the nurses came in and rubbed her head and prayed over
her and she and Mrs. Rasco wanted this to be noted in order to
thank her for showing some kindness. Jamie is very grateful
for everyone's support and asks that we keep fighting for her
and her sister Gladys to be freed from prison!

TO: Benniethompson@mail.house.gov
Dear Representative Thompson:
Mrs. Evelyn Rasco, the mother of Jamie and Gladys Scott has asked me to contact you and formally request your involvement in the case of her daughters. I realize that you are aware of the wrongful conviction of The Scott Sisters, so I will not go in depth regarding that issue. The issue at hand is a medical crisis!
Jamie Scott's temporary catheter (for the purpose of dialysis) has been moved to her chest and is plugged up with green fluid and pus. Her hands and feet are swollen and she is in tremendous pain. She is very, very weak. This is at least her fourth catheter infection and this one is extremely bad. Jamie is doing very poorly. The prison is aware of her current condition yet, she remains in the prison infirmary. Jamie needs to be carried to the hospital and she needs to remain there until this infection is cleared.
Please assist Mrs. Rasco in getting the proper medical attention for her daughters Mr. Thompson. You may reach Mrs. Rasco at rqueenbee2222@yahoo.com
Jamie is in constant pain, her hands and legs/feet are swollen and she needs to go to the hospital. This is a medical crisis!
Respectfully Submitted,

serious medical condition and the Scott Sisters case
period. The contact form is at http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/newstips.html
PLEASE CONTINUE THE PUSH FOR MAINSTREAM MEDIA

----------------------------
Today and until Jamie is released, PLEASE ASK GOVERNOR
BARBOUR TO GRANT INMATE JAMIE SCOTT, #19197, CMCF,
COMPASSIONATE RELEASE DUE TO SERIOUS MEDICAL
ILLNESS. She is not a threat to anyone and has a supportive
family willing to care for her and obtain the medical care that she
has not adequately received while in prison. She is a first-time
offender who has served 15 years in prison and is not a risk for
recidivism, particularly with the gravity of her declining health.
We are asking for her release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The compassionate release request is at Mrs. Rasco's site:
http://www.freethescottsisters.blogspot.com for
your reference and information.
Thanks to everyone, please help spread the word & ACT!
