Jamie, foreground, and Gladys Scott wave from a vehicle as they leave the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl, Miss., Friday, Jan. 7, 2011. The two sisters, whose life sentences were suspended on the condition that one donate a kidney to the other, were released from a Mississippi prison on Friday after serving 16 years for an armed robbery. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour agreed to release her from prison because of her medical condition, but 38-year-old Gladys Scott's release order says one of the conditions she must meet is to donate the kidney within one year. The Scott sisters' attorney and advocacy groups have long cited $11 as the amount taken in the robbery, though there's been some dispute about exactly how much was stolen. The lower amount has been used to argue that the life sentences were excessive. Jamie Scott, 36, is on dialysis, which officials say costs the state about $200,000 a year. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)AP - Sisters Jamie and Gladys Scott left prison on Friday for the first time in 16 years, yelling, "We're free!" and "God bless y'all!" as they pulled away in a silver SUV.
