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.

I just called the first number. Explained that I'm the Texas Coordinator of the Nat'l Coalition for Criminal Justice Reform and that we've gotten word that Ms. Scott has failing kidneys and needs to be hospitalized. They confirmed that she's in the clinic. They transferred me to a nurse who told me she couldn't tell me anything about Jamie's plan of care. I explained to the nurse that there are thousands of people in our organization who have gotten this word and that they should expect a lot of calls, as well as media attention, and that if Ms. Scott were to die from this situation, it would shine a light on the MS corrections that they don't want to have. She said to contact their "Site Administrator," Paxton Paige, at 601-932-2880 x6647. I left a message for Mr. Paige. Please update us with info when you can.
Thanks for the feedback, great job.
