SINGER JAMES BROWN RELEASED FROM PRISON

With two inmates carrying his suitcases, "Godfather of Soul" James Brown started a brand-new bag Thursday. He was transferred from prison to a work-release center to counsel youths about drug abuse.

The two-time Grammy award winner was released after serving 15 months of a six-year prison sentence for aggravated assault.

He will be locked up nights and weekends at the minimum security Lower Savannah Work Center near Aiken, where he will help educate young people about the dangers of illegal drugs and alcohol. - Associated Press
