Mississippi County Sued for Indefinitely Holding Prisoners Without Charge 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new lawsuit accuses a Scott County jail in Mississippi of indefinitely
and illegally holding prisoners without charge. The American Civil
Liberties Union filed the case on behalf of two men who have been held
in a Scott County jail for nearly a year without an indictment or the
appointment of legal counsel.
