Mrs. Rasco received word this evening that Jamie Scott's
temporary catheter has been moved to her chest and is
plugged up with green fluid and pus. Her hands, legs 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 Jamie's current
condition yet Jamie remains in the prison infirmary.

Mrs. Rasco is asking that everyone please call into the
governor and Commissioner Epps to release her from
the horrible conditions she is in and the poor medical care
that she is receiving. Mrs. Rasco believes that Jamie is
going to die in the prison if something doesn't happen soon
and is calling out for all of the support that she can get.

LET THEM KNOW THAT JAMIE SCOTT IS SUFFERING
WITH PAIN, SWELLING, INFECTION AND WEAKNESS
& NEEDS IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION OUTSIDE
OF THE PRISON!
-------

We also need to continue pushing for national media
attention on the case, some focus has been achieved &
we need to strike while the iron is hot! Jamie's condition
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.

Jane Velez-Mitchell should do an entire segment on
the Scott Sisters now that she is aware of the case, please
contact her and urge her to follow-up her brief mention of
the Scott Sisters on her 3/6 "Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell"
with a more significant segment that will focus on Jamie's
serious medical condition and the Scott Sisters case
period.

Today's Newsweek blog ran a piece called: "Left Wing: Pardon
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!
