After 16 years behind bars in Mississippi, two sisters were released Friday on the condition that one donate a kidney to the other.
Gov. Haley Barbour suspended the sentences of Gladys Scott, 36, and Jamie Scott, 38, who were serving life sentences for armed robbery. Gladys Scott agreed to donate a kidney to her sister, who according to their lawyer, is gravely ill.
The freed sisters were heading to Pensacola, Florida, where their mother lives, to remain under the supervision of the Florida Department of Corrections parole office, said Suzanne Singletary, a spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Life for stealing gun? 2millions killed in in most recent genocide, still no end. How much will bush and the rest of us paying taxes in trillion get for the bloodshed? The hit men and women at the front, what is their sentence for planting mass refugees and grave numbers of innocent helpless souls overseas? Useless law system is not a way out for throwing flowers at war criminals, while the poor perish. We need to wake up. Time is ours for now, we can stop these lawmakers and have em pay equally as the poors. "they sat down and let injustice grow, that's their legacy" says the next generation of us. Can we rewrite our own story?
To the ppl thats wish it was 1960..ur probably the same ppl who refer to the computer as "the television" and have no idea what an iPad or mp3 player is. Build a time machine an go back until then do some research catch up with the times. Regarding the release of these women race isn't the matter here but one does have to question why they received life sentences 4 taking cash by force (which can be replaced 100 fold) when others get away w/10 yrs 4 taking a life (which affects more than just the victim)?
just got back from 1960 thru my time machine.Very dissapointed they still had not invented skittles
wow one of them had to be a juvenile. the punishment didnt fit the crime now they want a kidney some ppl do fifteen years for murder i say they did their time.
It's really sad that in 2011.racism is still alive . In for some one to say race. As nonthing to do with this. You are crazy. I dont understatnd how some people can say the things they say out there mouths. In really believe some one would not call them a raceies. Maybe if people would think before they speak then words like racism would for once die. Its sad that people would rather put each other down then to face facts. People do sometimes do wrong things but we all do. No one is better then No one. Those girls were done wrong. If you are going to judge someone do it because of the truth of the crime. Not because of color of there skin. Because that seems to be. Whats happien in this day in age. And that my friend is racism
