- In his heyday, JAMES BROWN was bigger than life, whether on
- a wall or in person. But for the past 16 months the "godfather
- of soul" has been in a South Carolina slammer for a 1988
- conviction on assault and other charges. This week he'll start
- in a work-release program at a community center, where one of
- his tasks will be to speak out against drug use. Nights, he'll
- return to a nearby minimum-security facility. He's eligible for
- parole in 1991, but that's not soon enough for the feisty Free
- James Brown campaign.
