4/19 JAMIE SCOTT CALL
4/19 JAMIE SCOTT CALL/HELP NEEDED WITH PRESS!Share
Today at 1:11pm
UPDATE: 4/19 CALL FROM JAMIE
Jamie Scott called her mother this morning and informed her that Warden Holman woke her from sleep, demanding to know what her mother was posting on the internet regarding mold on the walls and leaking in her unit. She got up and showed him the mold all over the walls
as well as sewage that was coming up out of the toilets and the spiders overrunning the unit.
The warden then told Jamie (who only has the use of one arm) to scrub down the walls, to which she refused! Jamie told him that her mother is posting the truth and would continue to document everything that was going on with her, including the disgusting conditions of the unit and how it was making her sicker and more prone to infection, and that all of those years of mold would need more than scrubbing anyway. She told him if she was allowed to lay there and die that he hasn't seen anything yet and would never hear the last of her mother!
The other women were awakened by the Warden and told to scrub the mold off of the walls and they also refused! They told the Warden that they were glad that everybody is finding out about their horrible living conditions and that the building needs to be torn down! No matter how the prison tries to hide it, the truth will continue to be told!
One prison doctor has diagnosed Jamie with an infection and another has not, but she has the discoloration that is a hallmark of recurrent infection. She clarified that it was determined that she was only on Heparin while in the hospital and that it had been discontinued.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE in e-mailing our press release to at least three press contacts as often as possible! It's at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/30178263/Scott-Sisters-Press-Release

lot of help to attract as much attention to this case as possible to truly make a difference!

4/13 URGENT MEDICAL UPDATE ON JAMIE SCOTT!
Today at 4:55pm
Jamie Scott is again in medical crisis and we are asking everyone
reading these words to push the prison to hospitalize her!
Jamie woke up last night in a puddle of blood from the painful
catheter in her groin area. The catheter had green liquid, showing
signs of infection. The guard called the doctor and was told to
clean her up, change her bandage, give her a Tylenol, and send
her back to her unit without anyone examining her at all! When
she arrived back at the building she began vomiting uncontrollably
and is still unable to keep anything down as far as we know. The
most recent update today is that she is in the prison clinic and not
in the hospital.
We need the prison to know that we are on top of what's going
on and that Jamie Scott needs to be hospitalized now.
More updates will be sent out as soon as they come available.

3/16 JAMIE SCOTT UPDATE
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.

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!

Mrs. Rasco received word this evening that Jamie Scott's
temporary catheter has been moved to her chest and is
plugged up with green fluid and pus. Her hands, legs 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 Jamie's current
condition yet Jamie remains in the prison infirmary.
Mrs. Rasco is asking that everyone please call into the
governor and Commissioner Epps to release her from
the horrible conditions she is in and the poor medical care
that she is receiving. Mrs. Rasco believes that Jamie is
going to die in the prison if something doesn't happen soon
and is calling out for all of the support that she can get.

INMATE SAVES JAMIE SCOTT'S LIFE (Scott Sisters) By Sis Marpessa
Jamie Scott called home last night to the relief of her mother and family!
Following dialysis treatment at the prison last week Jamie was locked
in a cell and was not checked on at all by anyone for a very long while.
When an inmate stopped by Jamie's cell to speak to her, the inmate
was alarmed that she was not moving and was completely unresponsive.
It was because of this inmate yelling out for help that Jamie was found
to be in shock and rushed by ambulance to the Central Mississippi
Medical Facility, where she had been a patient during the entire time
the prison refused to give her mother or legal supporters any
information at all.
If not for this inmate's intervention Jamie may not have survived. Her
heart rate and blood pressure were way off, as well as her magnesium
levels. Her treatment had not been carried out properly and the doctor
had to send back written instructions on how to care for her. The
doctor alerted Jamie that there was a problem with the insertion of the
temporary catheter in her neck and that it's placement could lead to
infection, stating that the doctor who placed it needed to be contacted.
As of last night Jamie was in the prison infirmary.
We are more concerned than ever about Jamie's medical care and are
still pushing for mainstream media coverage to shine a bright light on
her steady, perilous decline due to CUT-RATE medical care with the
prison's rule of thumb being whatever is quickest, cheapest (whether
or not it's actually the right treatment) or nothing at all!
Although Mrs. Rasco has a legal advisor, Atty Jaribu Hill, she is still in
dire need of a criminal attorney. There are many issues that need to be
addressed and we are actively seeking any information that would help
her obtain a lawyer. We are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic and
heavily experienced paralegal recently volunteer to work with us and who
would be of great assistance to any attorney that would help to right the
very egregious wrongs the Scott Sisters have suffered these many years.
Jamie Scott nor her sister should even be locked down in that prison
in the first place, this case is galling beyond belief and calls into question
every platitude this nation applies to itself when falsely lauding itself as a
human rights champion! Please continue to make as many contacts as
possible on the Scott Sisters' behalf, we are interested in all of your ideas
and creativity to get this story out there!

JAMIE SCOTT RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Mrs. Evelyn Rasco has confirmed through a sergeant and nurse at
the prison that Jamie was rushed to the hospital due to a decline in
her condition earlier today. The prison will not confirm anything further,
whatsoever, not even whether Jamie is still alive or where specifically
she has been taken (the hospitals will not confirm whether Jamie is
a patient at any of them either).
We had received a report a few days ago that Jamie should have been
returned to the Medical Bldg. at the prison due to severe weakness
and difficulty carrying out her activities of daily living, however this
did NOT happen.
Jamie Scott should have remained hospitalized long ago due
to her kidney failure and other health issues that are impacted by
such a serious development!! The prison has played games with
Jamie's life long enough and should have never moved her back from
the hospital to begin with!
We need to know Jamie Scott's condition and what is happening to her.
She must not, once again, be returned to the prison to continue to
deteriorate, her medical care must be taken out of the prison's hands!
Updates will follow as soon as they are available! Please keep
checking in as much as you are able!

BACKGROUND INFO AT: http://www.freethescottsisters.blogspot.com

Free The Scott Sisters
Greetings all,
Jamie Scott is presently locked down in a cell in the infirmary
on a hospital bed on the men's side of the prison. She has had
some of the toxins removed from her body through a temporary
catheter, but she is still seriously ill and should be hospitalized!
The prison has known that Jamie was sick for some time, yet
her condition was allowed to manifest and deteriorate to this
level and we do not trust them to provide her with sufficient
medical care at all, their track record with Jamie is horrendous!
Jamie Scott was a healthy young woman in 1993 when she was
snatched away from her family for no good reason and locked
down in tortuous conditions for 15 yrs, now her condition is life-
threatening, must this horrific injustice now become a death
sentence?!
Gladys Scott is extremely upset by all of this, as you can well
imagine. As reported earlier, she has offered one of her own
kidneys for Jamie and was told that as a state prisoner she
doesn't qualify. With each passing day she is becoming more
and more alarmed and could really use some cards/letters
from supporters:
Gladys Scott #19142
CMCF/B-Bldg.
P.O. Box 88550
Pearl, MS 39288-8550
Please continue to contact the governor's office, we cannot rest
or believe that our efforts are in vain. Call into talk radio, enter
info on as many blogs, Ning groups, etc., as possible, we need
to really make a very loud NOISE in order to be heard! We
need all of your ideas and talents, thank you all!
JAMIE SCOTT, #19197, IS SUFFERING CRUEL AND
INHUMAN PUNISHMENT!
BE DIRECT BUT PLEASE BE COURTEOUS

Free The Scott Sisters
Greetings all,
Jamie Scott is presently locked down in a cell in the infirmary
on a hospital bed on the men's side of the prison. She has had
some of the toxins removed from her body through a temporary
catheter, but she is still seriously ill and should be hospitalized!
The prison has known that Jamie was sick for some time, yet
her condition was allowed to manifest and deteriorate to this
level and we do not trust them to provide her with sufficient
medical care at all, their track record with Jamie is horrendous!
Jamie Scott was a healthy young woman in 1993 when she was
snatched away from her family for no good reason and locked
down in tortuous conditions for 15 yrs, now her condition is life-
threatening, must this horrific injustice now become a death
sentence?!
Gladys Scott is extremely upset by all of this, as you can well
imagine. As reported earlier, she has offered one of her own
kidneys for Jamie and was told that as a state prisoner she
doesn't qualify. With each passing day she is becoming more
and more alarmed and could really use some cards/letters
from supporters:

Please continue to contact the governor's office, we cannot rest

info on as many blogs, Ning groups, etc., as possible, we need
to really make a very loud NOISE in order to be heard! We
need all of your ideas and talents, thank you all!

INHUMAN PUNISHMENT!

SICKENING ROLLER-COASTER RIDE FOR JAMIE SCOTT!!
SICKENING ROLLER-COASTER RIDE FOR JAMIE SCOTT!!
Mrs. Rasco was informed at 6:00 a.m. that Jamie Scott was returned
to the prison infirmary after having been told that her body was full
of toxins and that the medication she had been receiving at the
prison contributed to the condition she is in today! In typical
sadistic fashion, the prison told Jamie that they are not paying
for her to have a special diet and that they will be moving her
back to the horrible, leaky and moldy building where she was
living. As if all of that wasn't bad enough, she was further informed
that she will be taken to a trailer to receive dialysis instead of the
hospital!
While Atty Jaribu Hill is working on legal support for Jamie, we
MUST continue to advocate for her. Mrs. Rasco wants us
to flood the governor's office as he has released inmates in the
past who have been convicted of far worse crimes than which
Jamie and Gladys are accused. Mississippi is also making
deep budget cuts which have included discussions around
the release of inmates, and there is no reason on this earth why
Jamie Scott should continue to be locked down in her serious
medical condition, it is cruel, inhumane, and DEADLY, she has
many aggravating conditions, is severely depressed, and there
must be COMPASSION!
If you work in the medical field please make that known when
calling/writing so that it can be made plain that there are medical
professionals aware of this prison's culpability in this previously
healthy young woman's deterioration into such a serious condition,
which they continue to downplay to this very moment!
We also continue to feel strongly that if we could put the light of
mainstream media on this case that it would make a huge difference.
PLEASE include calls and e-mails to the media. If you're from
overseas, please make sure that they know that fact.
Thanks again to you all, we have an enormous fight on our hands
and we need all of the help we can get! We know that they
expect us to give up, but we must push even harder!

URGENT SCOTT SISTERS ALERT!!
Monday, January 18, 2010
1/18 URGENT SCOTT SISTERS ALERT!!
EMERGENCY ACTION ALERT!
Mrs. Rasco just received a phone call from Gladys Scott that both of Jamie Scott's kidneys have shut down and that she has been in the prison infirmary since last Saturday hooked up to IV fluids with a heavy build-up of toxins in her body. Jamie has yet to be sent to a hospital due to "paperwork." Jamie pleaded that Gladys not contact their mother because she didn't want to burden her with anymore worry on top of caring for all of the children.
Gladys has offered to donate a kidney to Jamie and was told that she cannot because she is a state prisoner and that it would be too expensive. The greatest heartbreak of all is that Jamie has asked to be allowed to die because she wants to come home so badly and no longer believes that it will ever happen.
JAMIE SCOTT, #19197, MUST BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY! Her physical and mental state require the highest levels of professional care.

1/7 SCOTT SISTERS UPDATE
Thursday, January 7, 2010
1/7 SCOTT SISTERS UPDATE!
THANK YOU FOR REPOSTING THIS INFORMATION!!
Warm Greetings all,
Happy New Year to you all and may this be the year that the Scott Sisters are AT LONG LAST reunited with their family! Thanks to all of you who have written, called and e-mailed on their behalf, as well as spread the word of this case by forwarding and reposting, we need that to happen! We've received messages from as far away as Germany and as near as the smallest of towns here in the U.S. of people in support of these women, this is about as grassroots of an effort as it gets, we are counting on each person reading these words to ACT.
It's been reported that there was a recent article on the case featured in the Jackson Advocate (Mississippi) for which we are real grateful and will send out as soon as we receive it. Mainstream publicity largely continues to elude us, as you know they would rather focus on Tiger Woods or Mariah Carey instead of the wrongfully convicted who are suffering and dying behind the walls of the prisons in this country! It's gonna take hundreds of letters to these entities to get them to say a mumbling word about this atrocious case, so we're really calling on everyone to contact as many media outlets as possible with the information at our website.
With the help of Attorney Jaribu Hill the prison has agreed to allow the Scott Sisters to visit each other for two hours this month! This will mean the world to them as they have been terribly upset about not seeing one another. Both women suffer from depression, Jamie is in poor health, and they need to be in regular contact with one another and their family who love and miss them so much. There's a new photo at the website of the children and grandchildren of Jamie and Gladys so that you can see how much they are needed at home instead of being tormented in captivity like this, it is truly cruel and inhuman punishment!! This situation is really abysmal, it's just gotta get solved!
Please continue to send in your ideas and spread the word about this case, we need you!! Let us know when you contact media so that we can keep up with who has received the info. Also please bear in mind that we are still looking for a criminal attorney to work on this case, please share this information with any leads at all that will assist this family!
Don't forget to send in your letters and to ask others to do so as well! We can make anything happen, we have the power, we just need the MASS NUMBERS of people TO ACT!

FIGHT TOFREE AN INNOCENT MAN
URGENT! SANKOFA UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST AND ATTORNEY MAWULI DAVIS FIGHT TOFREE AN INNOCENT MAN BY THANKSGIVING
Dear Community,
We need your help immediately! Please read this information and forward it to everyone you know. Our prayer is that the spirit of Thanksgiving will lead you to help give this family something to be extremely thankful for. As you read, remember, this could easily be your son.
An unfortunate event has occurred in the Atlanta Metro area and a young man desperately needs your help. Eric A. Johnson recently graduated from Creekside High School as an honor student and member of the Beta Club. He has been working the past few months in order to help support his mother and had plans of attending Westwood College in January. Ever since his father died three years ago in a tragic house fire accident, Eric has faced adversity and overcome numerous life obstacles to become a successful young man. However, Eric was recently incarcerated for a crime he had no part in or knowledge of. Please allow me to introduce you to the facts that led to the current crisis our community is facing.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
On Monday night, August 17, 2009, Antoine Wimes and Donavon McCoy are alleged to have shot "Nikki" Neely and seriously injured her 10-month-old baby in a vicious and senseless home invasion. On August 18, 2009, after seeing the news reports of this horrific attack, Eric A. Johnson called 911 and reported to police that he had "given a ride" to the suspects earlier in the evening. Eric gave a statement to Officer Byars of the Fulton County Police Department. Eric told Officer Byars that he was asked by Antoine Wimes to give him a ride in exchange for "gas money." Eric told Officer Byars that he picked up Antoine Wimes and another young man that he met for the first time named "Dino." He drove them to a gas station, brought gas and then took them further down South Fulton Parkway and dropped them off. The police have obtained and reviewed the gas station video that confirms Eric was at the gas station at 5:45 p.m. Additionally, in the initial statement to police, Donavan McCoy stated that they he and Antoine Wimes were "dropped off." Additionally, an independent witness, Virginia Bonylan, reported to police that she saw Antoine Wimes and Donavan McCoy in the area at 7:30 p.m. She did not see or identify Eric Johnson as being with Antoine Wimes or Donavan McCoy. Also, during the bond hearing Ms. Bonylan testified that Antoine Wimes and Donvan McCoy were coming out of the driveway of Johnny Jones driveway when she saw them. Ms. Bonylan saw these two men again later in the evening at 10:30 p.m. and gave them a ride. Police were dispatched for the shooting at 8:40 p.m. We have alibi witnesses that Eric Johnson was home well before dark on August 17, 2009.
On August 17, 2009 the sun set at 8:22 P.M. Eric told Officer Byars that he knew Antoine Wimes from previously living in the same subdivision. Officer Byars informed Eric and his mother, Loleta Horton, that Chattahoochee Hills Police would be contacting him. Apparently, when Eric Johnson was contacted by Chattahoochee Hills Police, the aggressive manner in which Detectives spoke with his mother made her uncomfortable with allowing her son to speak to them without an attorney present. On Thursday, August 27, 2009, Eric was arrested at his home in Union City. During the Bond Hearing the lead detective, Jamie Melton, admitted that he had no evidence that Eric A. Johnson was present at the time of the shooting or knew that Antoine Wimes and Donovan McCoy intended on committing any crime. Additionally, the Detective testified under oath that if Eric A. Johnson would have "talked" to him he would not have obtained arrest warrants.
Without any evidence and with a story that makes no sense, on September 1, 2009, Eric Johnson was indicted along with Antoine Wimes and Donavon McCoy. Eric Johnson is charged with multiple felonies including: 2 counts of Aggravated Battery, Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Cruelty to Children. On September 9th, after hearing evidence on an Emergency Motion for Bond, Judge Goger granted a total bond of $50,000. As of today, Eric remains in jail unable to post a bond. Eric's mother is unemployed and his father is deceased. Community, we need you! While the crime allegedly committed by Antoine Wimes and Donavon McCoy was heinous to say the very least and our prayer is that we see 'justice flow like a river,' Eric Johnson is innocent!
In the spirit of Ujima, Collective Work and Responsibility, our prayer is that we all embrace our crucial responsibility to work together. Our working together is the key to solving the problems of and building and maintaining healthy African communities. In this case, our working together is critical to our fight not only to gain the freedom of an innocent young man but, to also let him know that he is a member of a larger community that cares about him. If we don't show him we care, someone else will!
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Please help us in our fight for Eric Johnson's release. We need 250 people to donate $25.00. Your donation will help towards the $5,000.00 needed to post bond as well as transcripts that will be associated with the case. Attorney Mawuli 'Mel' Davis, one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the state of Georgia offered, "I am providing my services and reputation pro bono because it is clear that this young man is innocent."
Donations are being accepted payable to Sankofa United Church of Christ. Please log on to our website at www.justice4ericjohnson.com or www.sankofaucc-atl.org. Go to our 'On Line Giving' page, fill in your name and email address, type in the 'Message' field; 'FREE ERIC JOHNSON' and finally click donate to make your donation of at least $25.00. An innocent young black man and his mother both need you! "We want to make sure Eric is released from jail by Thanksgiving. He deserves to eat a Thanksgiving meal at home with his family as most of us will on Thursday." said Reverend Derrick Rice, Pastor of Sankofa United Church of Christ.
You can also stress your concerns by writing letters to the District Attorney of Fulton County Paul Howard at 136 Pryor Street Third Floor, Atlanta, GA, 30303-3477.
