No. 3730.

230 So.2d 861 (1970)

Major POUNDS, Nathaniel Green, and Warren Evans, Individually, and on behalf of all those similarly situated v. Harold E. THEARD, Sr., Warden of the House of Detention.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

February 2, 1970.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard A. Buckley and Robert Glass, New Orleans, for plaintiffs-appellees.

Alvin J. Liska, City Atty., Maurice B. Firedman, Richard C. Seither, and Joseph J. Gendusa, Jr., Asst. City Attys., for defendant-appellant.

Before SAMUEL, REDMANN and BARNETTE, JJ.

REDMANN, Judge.

The warden of the city jail of New Orleans appeals a mandamus ordering him to end racial segregation in cells and cell blocks and in prisoner work squads, and to include for consideration for work petitioners and other prisoners whose sentences bear the notation "double time not permitted", because of which the warden had been refusing to assign work to those prisoners since work ordinarily earns double time against a sentence.
