10/1 JAMIE SPEAKS



Jamie Scott of the Scott Sisters continues to have all of the privileges revoked that she earned over almost 15 yrs. of unjust incarceration simply for going into the gym to use the bathroom without authorization. She remains isolated from all activities within the prison. Despite her efforts to seek relief, she has been unable to regain those privileges due to harassment from Deputy Warden Winkel. Jamie has been a model inmate in every aspect of prison life with no write-ups for all of these years. In fact, Vocational Education Director, Pat Owen, wrote of Jamie's work as a tutor in the literacy program: "Inmate Scott has proven herself to be dependable, hard working, and conscientious. She has demonstrated much patience and compassion in working with lower-level students. Her work at the school has been exemplary."

9/09 -- JAMIE SCOTT SPEAKS about the circumstances surrounding the removal of her privileges and transfer to a more punitive building.

I have been on the grounds of CMCF for 15 years. Everyone thinks when you come to prison, you come to be rehabilitated. Well, that's a lie. Policy 20-05 states we are not to be discriminated against. Let's be real. Policy is a joke around here. All staff members are not low down and abusive with their authority but many are.

Dear Jamie,
I read about your plight online today and wanted to pick up a pen and write to you. I swear to you my current routine does not call for pen and paper, and I haven't written a letter since FOREVER! Nevertheless, I wanted to send you some inspiration in hopes that you will have an opportunity to settle, to inhale, and to really get a grip on what I'm about to say.
Once upon a time I was also stripped of my freedom, tho not for unjust reasons. I probably deserved the time I got (respective to various digressions in my life). However, since there was already milk spilt, I decided to make something of my time so that time 'in there' was time well spent indeed. Over 3 dozen novels later, known throughout the world as 'Relentless Aaron', I am here to tell you what you probably already know. So let this be an affirmation: "Life is not the problem. It's PEOPLE who make life a problem." Translation: "Doing time is not the problem..." And so, at an early stage in my incarceration, I decided to forge my agenda (and I had one from the day they slammed the gate) while following the path of least resistance. That meant being the hummingbird in the midst of vultures. That meant living (NOT JUST READING) the concepts taught in "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff (it's all small stuff)." And that also meant understanding and treasuring my true value, my purpose and maintaining my agenda in effort to walk the walk.
Jamie, there was a point when I told myself that these walls and fences are not imprisoning my mind. But I couldn't just say it; I had to BELIEVE it. I had to TRULY BELIEVE IT. And so, I was ALREADY a best selling author, despite my surroundings. By reading your writing it's clear to me that you are already achieving, and that you will one day achieve your ultimate goals. Freedom (in it's physical sense) should NOT be a top priority. Freedom of the mind SHOULD be. The other will come when it comes, not a moment sooner or later.
Peace & Prosperity.
