Update on Terrance Scott Hearing

From Mrs. Evelyn Rasco

Dear Supporters:

Thanks to your help, Terrance's sentencing hearing has been put off until July 28. This will give more time for supporters to write letters and fax his attorney as she is working very hard to get him the least amount of time that she can, due to the great injustice Jamie and Gladys suffered.

Atty Contact is:

Jennifer Hart
3 West Garden St, Suite 200
Pensacola, FL 32502
Fax: 850 434 3855
Office: 850 432 1418.

Terrance Scott is Jamie Scott's oldest son.

Thank you on behalf of Jamie and Gladys.

Plea from Evelyn Rasco to Call-in for Grandson, Terrance Scott

From: Mrs. Evelyn Rasco - rqueenbee2222@yahoo.com

I am asking all of our supporters to please email or fax my grandson's attorney to ask the judge to have mercy on Terrance Scott. He is Jamie's oldest son that went on a rampage due to our long fight to free Jamie and Gladys and his belief that his mother would die in prison. Crimes have been put on him by the state that he did not do. He has pled guilty to federal charges so he will be sentenced on July 19. I am asking just for your help so the system will know that someone cares for Terrance just as so many of you cared for Jamie and Gladys. His attorney is Jennifer Hart, fax her at 850 434 3855, office number 850 432 1418. Terrance had no convictions until all this happened and no one was hurt or killed in the crimes he pled guilty to, so please i need your help. Send a fax, please, time has run out for letters to reach Pensacola, FL. Just ask the judge to have mercy on Terrance and state that what happened to his mother, Jamie, pushed him off the edge and drinking that 4LOKO beer that has killed some teens in the past. So please help me to save my grandson's life, please everyone fax as quickly as possible. You all freed Jamie and Gladys and I know you can make an impact on what the judge does to Terrance.

Thank you so much for your support, Evelyn Rasco (Jamie and Gladys Scott's mother). My fight for my kids will never end, thank you.

JAMIE SCOTT HOSPITALIZED - BROTHER IN AFGHANISTAN NEEDS TO COME HOME

(Pensacola), FL – 1/25/11 – Jamie Scott has been hospitalized with an excessively high potassium level. The sisters were released from prison to serve life on parole and have had a very rough time adjusting with little funds to support themselves. Their mother is on a fixed income and unable to make necessary repairs as a result of storm damage to the house. These
repairs require immediate attention to accommodate Jamie upon her release from the hospital.

Currently, their brother serving in Afghanistan owns the home and is the only person who is able to conduct business regarding the house -- the insurance company will not comply with Mrs. Rasco. Willie James Scott Jr., is in need of your assistance to get home. Please contact all media outlets and make this information public.

JAMIE SCOTT UPDATE!

12/23/10

from - Nancy Lockhart

Dear Supporters:

Jamie Scott did receive dialysis yesterday however; there is still a major concern regarding this OSHA citation (#313634453). We are aware that black mold was found during an inspection but, additional toxins are not being confirmed and inmates have no idea what is in the Environmental Report.

Wexford Health Sources is the medical contractor for Mississippi Department of Corrections and my research shows that Wexford has this report. I rarely make assumptions regarding issues as such but, will assume that what is in this report may explain why Jamie has had such massive headaches. This report may also explain the sudden death of a health care worker inside this same facility. Wexford Health Sources has a history of law suits and medical neglect -- nation wide. Wexford is a prison medical contractor.

Needless, please contact the following individuals at Wexford and request a copy of The Environmental Report. Please do not become surprised when/ or if you are told NO. Please continue to call TODAY!

Call the following individuals and request The Environmental Report generated for Citation #313634453

URGENT JAMIE SCOTT UPDATE

From Nancy Lockhart

Dear Supporters:

Happy Holidays from Jamie and Gladys Scott. Jamie and Gladys send their love and sincere thanks!

Jamie Scott has informed us that upon arrival for dialysis at 5am this morning -- she was turned away because of conditions within the Dialysis
trailer. Nurses stated that masks were distributed for medical personnel only but, the nurses have refused to wear the masks. (I have no idea as to
why)

Jamie has not received dialysis. Jamie Scott needs to be taken to the hospital where her dialysis treatment can be completed TODAY!

Her Schedule is Monday-Wed-Friday. Jamie states that when she lays down it feels as though fluid is surrounding her heart. Jamie also has another
infection!!

Please call Dr. Gloria Perry and ask that Jamie Scott be carried to a hospital for treatment.

Gloria Scott, M.D.
601-359-5155
gperry@mdoc.state.ms.us

In addition, OSHA has placed a notice of Citation on the door of this dialysis trailer. The Citation # is 313634453. It is my understanding that this Citation is a 90 day citation - Wexford Health Solutions which is the medical contractor - has 90 days to clean the mold. Non the less -- Jamie
Scott needs dialysis TODAY!

Date: December 13, 2010

Re: Urgent Action Needed For The Scott Sisters

Media activities surrounding Jamie and Gladys' case are diminishing and pressure needs to remain on Governor Haley Barbour to release both sisters immediately.

Please assist us during Monday December 13, 2010 – Tuesday December 21, 2010 by talking about the Sisters and requesting that your listeners call, and e-mail Governor Haley Barbour's office in support of freedom for Jamie and Gladys. This time frame is chosen so that calls and e-mails reach the governor before the Mississippi State Government holiday.

Suggested Methods:

Bloggers – please copy and paste the information found in italics below in your blogs.

Blog Talk Hosts – Please place Action Needed For the Scott Sisters in your program headings so that The Scott Sisters rank higher in Google searches. Also, copy and paste the information found in italics into the Blog section of your Blog Talk Radio accounts. Please read this short script at some point in time during your programs.

Radio Stations – Please read the information below on your programs daily. Currently, Rip Daniels of WJZD in Gulfport, Mississippi (www.wjzd.com) is the only brick and mortar media outlet mentioning the plight of The Scott Sisters on a daily basis.

Whether the Scott sisters are innocent or guilty, any reasonable person can see that the punishment they’ve received doesn’t fit the crime. In addition, Jamie Scott is very ill and suffering from stage 5 renal (kidney) failure. Currently, it’s up to Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour to commute their sentences and pardon them.

Each sister is currently serving double life sentences each for an $11 robbery – that's 4 life sentences between the two sisters. To date the sisters have been in prison 16 years. Let governor Barbour know that you 're seeking justice for the Scott sisters now!

11/28 - ACTION NEEDED FOR JAMIE SCOTT!

From: Nancy Lockhart

Dear Supporters:

I hope that everyone has had a great holiday weekend. Jamie has asked that I let everyone know that she and Gladys send their love and thanks for the great support shown.

Jamie has not received the results of her CT scan - Dr. Williams (unknown first name) has seen Jamie at MDOC and treats her in a very hostile manner. Jamie has stated that Dr. Williams acts as if she does not want to touch her for medical examinations. For the record - Dr. Williams is a female physician at the prison.

Jamie was sent to an eye doctor who has stated that the pressure in her eyes was lower than diagnosed in a previous examination. She states that this is a good sign. The doctor also stated that she will receive some eyeglasses but, no idea when.

The Dialysis trailer is infested with black mold. Several of the dialysis inmates are now experiencing headaches and watery eyes while in this trailer (mobile building), for treatment. One of the facility nurses had to be rushed out by ambulance recently, and this nurse only becomes sick while at work in the dialysis trailer. In addition, the trailer is very unstable with holes in the floor, the inmates feel that it's simply a matter of time before someone falls through the floor.

Also, the toilets in Quickbed where Jamie is housed are still running over. That was never completely repaired.

Please contact the Mississippi health department regarding the black mold, toilets in Quick Bed and inadequate infrastructure in this dialysis trailer which are all located at CMCF in Pearl, Mississippi. Jeffrey K. Brown is the Bureau Director and his information is below. Thank you!

Subject: Jamie Scott #19197 Is Going Blind and Needs Glasses

Dear Drs. Perry and Zein Mohamed:

Jamie Scott is going blind and the cause of this rapid vision loss is unknown. As a result Jamie is in need of glasses which have been repeatedly requested. In addition, Jamie Scott needs an examination from an outside physician to diagnose this vision loss as well as, the massive headaches.

Please ensure that Jamie receives eyeglasses so that she is able to see. This is very unethical and inhumane treatment.

The mission of the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure is to ensure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of Mississippians through implementation and enforcement of laws involving the licensing and regulation of physicians, podiatrists, physician assistants, radiology assistants and acupuncturists and through the objective enforcement of the Mississippi Medical Practice Act.

Currently, this mission statement is not being adhered to. The only consistency here, is medical neglect.

Please do not allow your medical neglect to turn into a death sentence for Jamie Scott.

Respectfully,

Nancy R. Lockhart, M.J.

Life Imprisonment for $11 Robbery (Jackson, MS) – On Christmas Eve in 1993, sisters Jamie and Gladys Scott left a mini-mart near their home in Scott County, Mississippi. Their car broke down. They hitched a ride from two young men, one of whom they knew. Later that evening the two men were robbed at gunpoint by three teenagers in another car. The robbers took an estimated $11 from the two young men. No one was hurt. Police accused the Scott sisters of setting the victims up.


Their father, James “Hawk” Rasco had experienced problems with law enforcement after he moved his family from Chicago back to Scott County, Mississippi. Rasco took over a nightclub previously owned by a nephew who had turned state’s evidence in a case against the “High White Sheriff” of Scott County, Glenn Warren. In the case of the Scott Sisters, the gun allegedly used in the robbery was never located, and the “stolen” wallet was recovered according to an affidavit by a trustee of the jail.


Jamie Scott is currently suffering from kidney failure and is gravely ill due to the care she is receiving at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF) in Pearl, Mississippi. Jamie’s condition has grown more critical prompting many groups in Mississippi to start writing letters and making phone calls to elected officials.


Civil Rights Advocate Dr. Adam Reza said “The people of Mississippi demand an investigation into the case of the Scott Sisters and we call on Attorney General Jim Hood to personally look in to the health of Jaime Scott. This is the United States of America and the Scott Sisters are entitled to their civil rights. We shall pursue legal action against the state of Mississippi if matters are not rectified.”
