From Facebook Cause Mississippi Justice:

March on the Mississippi Attorney General's Office


DATE: DECEMBER 22nd , 2010
LOCATION: MS ATTORNEY GENERAL JIM HOOD'S OFFICE

Walter Sillers Building 550 High Street Ste. 1200 Jackson, MS 39201

TIME: 1pm -7pm

The Scott Sisters have been in jail in Mississippi for 15 years. They are facing double life imprisonment for $11 robbery. They had no prior arrests, no criminal record, and no one was injured. There was no evidence to whatsoever to implicate them. The jury deliberated for 36 minutes and handed down double life sentences for each of the Scott Sisters. Many of the witnesses in the case testified to being coerced to give false testimony against the Scott Sisters. How is this justice?

MS Attorney General Jim Hood has assigned Charlie Rubisoff, an Investigator in his office to further investigate matters.

As Americans, justice is the glue that holds our democracy together. Stand in solidarity with the Scott Sisters and make sure that justice is preserved by calling the Mississippi Attorney General's office at 601-359-3680 and ask to speak with Investigator Charlie Rubisoff. Demand an investigation in to the case of the Scott Sisters and ask they be exonerated from these charges.

We are marching on Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood's Office to DEMAND THE SCOTT SISTERS BE FREED!

We are looking for organizers.

Prisoners' Guerrilla Handbook

Prisoners' Guerrilla Handbook
Numerous prisons have eliminated or defunded prison education programs, limiting incarcerated individuals' ability to pursue a GED or higher education while incarcerated. To respond to this situation, the third edition of “Prisoners' Guerrilla Handbook to Correspondence Programs in the U.S. and Canada,” has been published, written by Missouri prisoner Jon Marc Taylor, who has successfully completed a B.S. degree, an M.A. degree and a Doctorate by mail while incarcerated.
