Shreveport, La, May 8, 19i3.-In
the matter of granting double good
time off to prisoners on the Parish
Farm. The committee, duly appoint
cd to inquire into the above matter,
having done so, with the assistance
of the superintendent of the farm
and the district attorney, beg to re-
port as follows:
Your committee find that Section
5 Of Act 2O4 of 1898 sets forth the
power of the Police Jury On the
subject and confines that power to
granting deduction of one-sixth of
the term of Imprisonment to a pris-
oner who renders efficient services
and complies with all necessary
rules and regulations. From which
we find that double good time can
not be granted under any circum-
stances, nor can anything more or
less than one-sixth be granted.
Your committee further find that
a prisoner can not be worked more
than ten hours per day, and that he
can not in any case be put to work
before 6 o'clock in the morning, this
being the law as set forth in Sec
ton of Act SO of 1878.
Your committee therefore re-
spectfully recommends that grant,
ing of good time and the working of
prisoners be done strictly according
TO law as above set forth. Respect
fully,
GEORGE THURBER.
