MISSISSIPPI INJUSTICE: A DOUBLE-LIFE SENTENCE FOR $11.00!
Dothan, Alabama —- In a trial fraught with legal malpractice and witness coercion, Mississippi Judge Marcus Gordon oversaw one of the most blatantly corrupt trials in history, culminating in the staggering over-sentencing of sisters Gladys and Jamie Scott to double-life each in an armed robbery where no one was murdered or harmed and transcripts state that the amount alleged to have been taken was a whopping $9.00 -$11.00.
Human rights activist, Dick Gregory, is urging everyone to support the June 21, 2010 Gray-Haired Witnesses Fast for Justice in Washington, DC. The upcoming day-long event will call attention and bring publicity to the shocking case of the Mississippi Scott Sisters, who have served 15 years 8 months of double life sentences each. The public fast, press conference and rally also calls attention to the entire system of justice which increasingly incarcerates and over-sentences.
The Ordinary People Society is in full endorsement of The Gray-Haired Witnesses for Justice National Day of Fast. T.O.P.S is headquartered in Dothan, Alabama and successfully operates as a nonprofit, faith-based organization that offers hope, without regard to race sex, creed, color or social status, to individuals and their families who suffer the effects of drug addiction, incarceration, homelessness, unemployment, hunger and illness, through comprehensive faith-based programs that provide a continuum of unconditional acceptance and care.
In addition to endorsing the Washington, DC Fast For Justice on June 21, 2010, T.O.P.S. is co-hosting The Scott Sisters Education Rally during the Juneteenth Celebration at Dalton Deer Park, 902 Dalton Street – Jackson Mississippi on June 19, 2010 from 11-am to 7pm. President and Founder Rev. Kenneth Glasgow feels that the Scott Sisters travesty of justice is an issue that should remain in the forefront globally. T.O.P.S. has chapters in the United States abroad. Rev. Glasgow has advised that all chapters support freedom for The Scott Sisters.

The Ordinary People’s Society is pleased to announce the second “People’s Family Reunion for Formally Incarcerated People our Friends, Family & Loved ones” will take place at the second US Social Forum in Detroit, MI. TOPS is based in Alabama and is dedicated to solving the injustices around formally incarcerated people locally, state-wide, regionally and nationally. During the first US Social Forum we worked with partner organizations to develop the idea of a People’s Family Reunion to take place during social forums. The goal of the Family Reunion is to develop a space to gather, share strategies, build relationships across organizations & communities that are working on issues related to the prison industrial complex. The first People’s Family Reunion brought together almost 2000 people in a local park in Atlanta with speakers, food, and tables of organizations doing work to end the injustices that formally incarcerated people face in our society. TOPS would like to thank the local leadership in Detroit for helping to organize and host this Family Reunion process because we know what it means to have so many people coming from around the country to your city and the need to respect local leaders who are doing the work every day to make another world possible. Together we can make another historic gathering happen and advance the movement for social change as it relates to the Prison Industrial Complex.

If you would like to be involved in this years People Family Reunion please contact Reverend Kenneth Glasgow at: topssociety@yahoo.com
