5-5-10 SCOTT SISTERS UPDATE

 Today at 12:32pm
Greetings all,

Mrs. Rasco received word that last evening a 13 yr. friend of Jamie Scott's took a few steps toward her and fell down dead. The guards ran to her aid and tried CPR and everything that they could, but the woman had passed away. Jamie became hysterical, vomited blood and began losing breath. The guards there calmed Jamie, prayed with her, and stayed with her until her heart rate returned to normal. This woman had issues with her medication and health care in the prison for years, and was just questioning her medication earlier that day. The consensus among the inmates was that this woman's death was just another example of the poor medical care in that hellhole.

The issue remains of Jamie vomiting blood, as well as reporting that there are large, infected knots spread in various parts of her body which are painful and full of pus and blood. Jamie is terrified that she will be the next one to die and reports that her body is again full of infection. She has also been told that she has become anemic and that her blood sugars are only checked on a once weekly basis!

Please support by participating in two action requests!
--
1. ACTION
Jamie needs to be hospitalized and cleared of these infections! There also needs to be a determination about the level of medical care she is receiving as it is apparent that she is not being monitored carefully as these infections continue to thrive and remain untreated until there is a demand from the outside.

Please contact these officials and let them know that Jamie Scott, #19197, needs to be hospitalized ASAP as she has infections throughout her body that need immediate treatment!

Dear President Lamm:

I would like to bring your attention to the Case of The Scott Sisters. In the state of Mississippi, Jamie and Gladys Scott were convicted of armed robbery. A jury found the sisters guilty in 1994, transcripts conflictingly state that $11 dollars was netted. The sisters received double life sentences each for this crime, had no prior criminal records, and no one was injured in any way. A 14 year old testified that he was coerced and threatened to be sent to Parchman Penitentiary if he did not lie on the sisters by signing a statement. Other witnesses stated that the sisters were not involved in this crime. Jamie and Gladys Scott were convicted with no physical evidence.

The sisters are in need of a pro bono criminal law attorney. Currently, an attorney is handling Jamie Scott’s medical issues as she has had kidney failure and is receiving sub standard medical care via the MDOC and Wexford Health Sources, Inc.. Jamie Scott is in stage 5 of kidney failure, which is the final stage.

I am requesting that you assist in securing a criminal attorney to review their prior appeals process and determine additional ways to re enter state or federal court. Above all, the sisters should be immediately exonerated.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Sincerely,

(Your name)

4/25 SCOTT SISTERS UPDATE!

Today at 8:42pm
Greetings all,

Mrs. Rasco recently learned that Jamie's condition is unchanged and that when last they spoke she was being worked up for a possible urinary tract infection. She was mentally strong, however, and very grateful that her mother and supporters are sticking by she and Gladys through all that they have suffered.

MDOC Commissioner Christopher Epps, whom we've been contacting for months regarding the disastrous level of Jamie's care and who's been steadily misinforming people that she's not as sick as we've regularly documented, even after she had to be hospitalized several times for high toxicity and infections that almost took her life, is being HONORED as the KEYNOTE SPEAKER by the Jackson County, MS NAACP at their upcoming banquet on April 30, 2010!

Link: http://www.gulflive.com/sendthispage/sendthispage.ssf?http://blog.gulflive.com/mississippi-press-living/2010/04/christopher_epps_to_speak_at_freedom_fund_banquet.html


How could this branch, which is actually portrayed as an activist branch that has courageously taken on the police dept. and most recently the fire dept., completely ignore the sickeningly outrageous case of the Scott Sisters! And to add insult to injury, laud Christopher Epps, who covers up the low-budget, some-timey care that denies Jamie Scott regular medications, regular dialysis, and the specific diet she has been told repeatedly that she needs to maintain any semblance of health. The medical care is said by inmates there to be abysmal on every level, and particularly so for Jamie Scott, with end stage kidney failure!

This is a smack in the face to Mrs. Rasco, to whom Epps made false promises of relief for Jamie, as well as Jamie and Gladys Scott, their supporters, and the community at large! This organization should be fighting on the front lines for justice for the Scott Sisters and not inviting Christopher Epps to some banquet! And what of the national NAACP, why are they NOT responding to the many requests that have been made of them for the past 15 years to become involved in this case!

This is the final indignity and must not go unchallenged. This bureaucrat should not pompously sit up there picking his teeth and pontificating while Jamie Scott lay suffering in one of the very prison cells that he oversees, a prison cell that she (nor her sister) should even be in!

Please contact the president of the Jackson County, Mississippi NAACP, Curly Clark, and ask him:

* Why is the NAACP distinguishing a man who would allow a woman to deteriorate in a prison on his watch until she is now at end stage of kidney failure?

* What does the NAACP want to hear from a man that won't permit this same, very seriously ill woman to be housed in the Medical Bldg. on the grounds of that facility so that she can be cared for by her sister and instead has her housed in a mold-infested, damp, breeding ground for the infections which have repeatedly threatened her life?

Ask Jackson County NAACP President, Curly Clark, and State President, Derrick Johnson, why they are not involved in the fight for justice for the Mississippi Scott Sisters, a shocking and internationally known atrocity occurring right in their own backyard!

This entire event should be protested if Epps remains on the program and attendees given refunds for their $30 tickets!

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
Many newspapers can be reached by e-mail or contact form at http://www.usnpl.com/ - please also contact other forms of media that you can easily find info for. We need a whole
lot of help to attract as much attention to this case as possible to truly make a difference!

Thank you all, don't let up!!

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.

RE: The Scott Sisters


Dear Governor Barbour:

I would like to bring your attention to the case of Jamie and Gladys Scott. These sisters have served more than 15 years of a double life term where no one was murdered or injured. State's witnesses have testified to their innocence. Jamie Scott's kidneys have failed and her health is fading fast. We need your help now. Mississippi needs to know that those of us who believe in injustice and human rights are prepared to take a stand for the Scott Sisters.

FREE THE SCOTT SISTERS NOW!!

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.

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

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!

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,

PLEASE CONTINUE THE PUSH FOR MAINSTREAM MEDIA
THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO WINNING THEIR FREEDOM!
----------------------------

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:

your reference and information.

Thanks to everyone, please help spread the word & ACT!

We also need to continue pushing for national media

is very serious and we need for as many people as
possible to get involved with raising the demand for
her release as soon as possible. THIS CASE
DEMANDS NATIONAL ATTENTION.

Me, Governor Barbour" at
http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/thegaggle/archive/2010/03/11
/left-wing-pardon-me-governor-barbour.aspx

Many of these blogs where the Scott Sisters are getting attention have
comment sections that supporters can use to put out
updated information on Jamie's downward spiraling
condition, there's only so much her body is going
to be able to take and this needs to be emphasized!

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

1/30/2010

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

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!

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!


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!
