Jamie Scott, who became famous for the conditions of her prison release and outrage associated with her initial sentencing, has died at age 49.
Jamie Scott, whose kidney failure spurred the granting of early release from a controversial life prison sentence, then went on to become an advocate for justice, died November 9 of COVID-19.
Failing health, and a continued push from the public, helped free them both. Jamie Scott was 21 at the time of the sentencing. Gladys was 19 and pregnant. After 17 years in prison, then-Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour granted Jamie Scott early release from prison because of her illness and also let Gladys Scott go on the condition she donates a kidney to her sister.The two went on to form an organization called Sisters of Hope and become advocates for justice who focused on community work.
One of their recent efforts included handing out masks to every child at Montclair Elementary in Pensacola, Florida, as they went back to school in 2020.
