Greetings everyone!
Mrs. Rasco has done several very excellent Blogtalk interviews of late and
is working hard to get mention of this case in the mainstream, please help
spread the word to anyone who may cover this story. We need y'all to link
to and steer people to the website and distribute flyers as broadly as you
are able to, even religious and spiritual houses should very definitely be
involved in the struggle to bring these women home, this is madness!!
One supporter recently suggested sticking flyers in the bulletins/programs,
on the bulletin board, or in common areas of these facilities.
Gladys Scott wrote this update for you all: "Peace to all my supporters and
friends for believing in me and Jamie's freedom. I would like to thank
everyone! I'm so glad whenever I get mail and I will try to answer
everybody when I have stamps. My life here has been bad, but I work and
go to school and am trying to stay strong. Right now I speak to kids from
different schools and try to tell them how prison is and so I am trying to
turn a negative situation into a positive outcome. I miss Jamie so much. I
wish that she was with me, but this prison is so wrong. The only thing I
can do is pray and ask God to give me peace through all that goes on in
here. I have seen so many people make it out and pray to God that I live
long enough to make it out to be with my kids and grandkids, and I want to
take care of my mother who I owe so much. She has been there with us
since day one and I am so proud to be her daughter. She makes me not
want to give up and I know that I have to stay strong for her, she is the
inspiration of my life. Scott County told me that I was going to rot in prison
but I know that's a lie. Justice will come, the truth will come out that we are
innocent and the system is corrupted. We are going to keep on fighting
until someone hears our voice for justice. Happy holidays to all our
supporters and may God's peace keep you. Love, Gladys."
We, once again, are asking for an end of year PUSH to send letters to the
Governor and Attorney General per the instruction of the Civil Rights
Attorney who is assisting Mrs. Rasco, they truly need to be deluged with
requests from everyone outraged by this case. Please don't
procrastinate ... it will mean so much to check this off your "to do" list of
accomplishments for this year. We are also still in need of a criminal
attorney who will take on these cases and direct us on the best ways to
move forward, so please know that the search still continues for someone
who will help to end this family's nightmare.
Thank you all for your support this year, a lot may have changed in this
country but sadly one thing remains the same: Jamie and Gladys Scott
are still suffering the cruel and inhuman punishment of these outrageous
double-life sentences!
"I have done all my 20's in prison and in a few more years I will be through
with all my 30's. No one will understand the hurt I feel when so many
people, even a child rapist, can walk out these doors and I still sit here for
nothing at all." -- Jamie Scott

SAMPLE LETTER:
I am writing to request that you investigate the cases of Jamie and Gladys
Scott. The Scott Sisters were given double life sentences each in October
of 1994 for armed robbery in the state of Mississippi. No one was injured
or murdered. One witness states that about 11 dollars was netted in the
armed robbery. All witnesses and victims of this crime have testified that
the Scott Sisters were not involved in the robbery. Witnesses testified that
they were coerced and threatened to lie on the Scott Sisters.
This is an egregious wrongful conviction and the Scott Sisters and their
family has suffered now 15+ years.
Jamie and Gladys Scott are housed in Pearl, Mississippi at Central
Mississippi Correctional Facility. Their ID numbers are Jamie Scott #19197
and Gladys Scott #19142.
Sincerely,
(Your Name)

Gladys and Jamie thank those of you who have written very much, please
drop them a line for the holidays, they are 15+ years without their family
and this is a rough time of year for all prisoners. Please brighten their day
with a card or letter:
