BREAKING NEWS!!!
JUST CONFIRMED THAT JAMIE SCOTT IS IN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER,
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI!!
Gladys Scott called their mother, Mrs. Rasco, and told her that Jamie was moved earlier today and had surgery to place a shunt where she will begin to receive dialysis. According to one of the guards she is doing OK at this point in time. We will definitely keep everyone updated every time we are aware of a new development.
The outpouring of love that was showered on Jamie and Mrs. Rasco from around the world was truly incredible, fantastic and wonderful; thank you doesn't begin to express the gratitude that this family feels for what you've accomplished.
Mrs. Rasco wants everyone who called, faxed or e-mailed to know that it was due to your ceaseless efforts that this happened, and she is very, very grateful to each and everyone of you that participated in this call to action!
Together we can bring them home to their families where they belong!!

Just left this on Oprah's website, following your link there:
"Arizona Prison Watch has been in touch with Evelyn Rasco, the mother of the Scott Sisters, who are wrongly imprisoned in Mississippi. After a vigorous national call-in campaign, Jamie has finally been moved to the hospital for dialysis.
Her son has been fighting to free her (see SF BAY View re: Scott Sisters for the story on her son).
Please do a show on the wrongly convicted and help Mrs. Rasco get her kids home before one of them dies. Prisoners are the most invisible and voiceless people we have in society. They need your help."
By the way, one of the people who contacted Mississippi via our website has been following you from Australia - New South Wales.
Maybe I should have mentioned to Oprah that Gladys and Jamie have an international following. Might not hurt to focus on having friends overseas write to her, making sure she knows where they're writing from.
Keep us posted on Jamie and Gladys, and we'll keep passing on the word.
Now go take care of yourselves, too. Love and Blessings to you all.

Thank you both so much, your help is truly invaluable in fighting this monstrous prison system that is determined to keep its clutches on these long-suffering women. This is gonna be hard fought but together we will win!
