The Scott Sisters: Resurrecting Life from Double Life Sentences

By Gladys Scott and Jamie Scott

Jamie and Gladys Scott were accused of armed robbery and sentenced to double life in prison for only.... $11 dollars. This bizarre Mississippi case gained national attention because of the severity of the sentence for nineteen and twenty-one year old sisters who have never been convicted of a crime and no evidence was found. National organizations such as the NAACP and Operation Push got involved and began a global movement to have the sisters released after serving sixteen years of their sentence. The sisters' sentence was suspended due to Jamie being diagnosed with Kidney Failure and both were released under the condition that Gladys donate a kidney to her sister. So, why were the sisters sentenced to double life? Why such a severe sentence? The sisters take readers behind the scenes of their case and share stories never told about their childhood and family life.
