The NAACP has made a creative way of welcoming back Gladys and Jamie scott, who’ve just been released out of a Mississippi prison for an $11 robbery. On the NAACP’s website, they are making a welcome home card for the Scott sisters, where everyone can sign. Here’s what they said on their page:
Today marks a monumental moment in the fight for justice and equality.
After serving 16 years in prison for an $11 robbery, Gladys and Jamie Scott’s sentence was suspended.
This victory wouldn’t have been possible without your support. So please, take a moment to send a message to welcome home the Scott sisters.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour has ordered the release of Jamie and Gladys Scott, who have served 16 years for supposedly robbing a man of $11.
Jamie Scott has developed end-stage renal failure. In addition to granting both sisters their freedom, this action will allow Gladys Scott to donate a kidney to her sister.
Barbour decided to suspend the prison sentence because he believed the sisters no longer pose a threat to society
