This year’s celebration will be a benefit for Jamie and Gladys Scott, sisters recently released from a Mississippi prison, where they had been serving double life sentences, since 1994, for armed robbery. Released to save the taxpayers the health-care costs for ailing Jamie Scott, on the condition that sister Gladys donate a kidney, they continue to “pay” for a crime they didn’t commit—$52 a month, each, forever, for private parole-monitors to keep an eye on them.
