INMATE SAVES JAMIE SCOTT'S LIFE (Scott Sisters) By Sis Marpessa

Jamie Scott called home last night to the relief of her mother and family!

Following dialysis treatment at the prison last week Jamie was locked
in a cell and was not checked on at all by anyone for a very long while.
When an inmate stopped by Jamie's cell to speak to her, the inmate
was alarmed that she was not moving and was completely unresponsive.
It was because of this inmate yelling out for help that Jamie was found
to be in shock and rushed by ambulance to the Central Mississippi
Medical Facility, where she had been a patient during the entire time
the prison refused to give her mother or legal supporters any
information at all.

If not for this inmate's intervention Jamie may not have survived. Her
heart rate and blood pressure were way off, as well as her magnesium
levels. Her treatment had not been carried out properly and the doctor
had to send back written instructions on how to care for her. The
doctor alerted Jamie that there was a problem with the insertion of the
temporary catheter in her neck and that it's placement could lead to
infection, stating that the doctor who placed it needed to be contacted.
As of last night Jamie was in the prison infirmary.

We are more concerned than ever about Jamie's medical care and are
still pushing for mainstream media coverage to shine a bright light on
her steady, perilous decline due to CUT-RATE medical care with the
prison's rule of thumb being whatever is quickest, cheapest (whether
or not it's actually the right treatment) or nothing at all!

Although Mrs. Rasco has a legal advisor, Atty Jaribu Hill, she is still in
dire need of a criminal attorney. There are many issues that need to be
addressed and we are actively seeking any information that would help
her obtain a lawyer. We are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic and
heavily experienced paralegal recently volunteer to work with us and who
would be of great assistance to any attorney that would help to right the
very egregious wrongs the Scott Sisters have suffered these many years.

Jamie Scott nor her sister should even be locked down in that prison
in the first place, this case is galling beyond belief and calls into question
every platitude this nation applies to itself when falsely lauding itself as a
human rights champion! Please continue to make as many contacts as
possible on the Scott Sisters' behalf, we are interested in all of your ideas
and creativity to get this story out there!

JAMIE SCOTT RUSHED TO HOSPITAL

1/30/2010

Mrs. Evelyn Rasco has confirmed through a sergeant and nurse at
the prison that Jamie was rushed to the hospital due to a decline in
her condition earlier today. The prison will not confirm anything further,
whatsoever, not even whether Jamie is still alive or where specifically
she has been taken (the hospitals will not confirm whether Jamie is
a patient at any of them either).

We had received a report a few days ago that Jamie should have been
returned to the Medical Bldg. at the prison due to severe weakness
and difficulty carrying out her activities of daily living, however this
did NOT happen.

Jamie Scott should have remained hospitalized long ago due
to her kidney failure and other health issues that are impacted by
such a serious development!! The prison has played games with
Jamie's life long enough and should have never moved her back from
the hospital to begin with!

We need to know Jamie Scott's condition and what is happening to her.
She must not, once again, be returned to the prison to continue to
deteriorate, her medical care must be taken out of the prison's hands!

Updates will follow as soon as they are available! Please keep
checking in as much as you are able!
