POP/ROCK - Aug. 14, 1989

Imprisoned soul singer James Brown has lost the 20 days off he had earned for good behavior after officials found $40,600 in cash and checks in his Columbia, S.C., jail cell, authorities said. Inmates are allowed no more than $50 in the prison. Corrections officials took $600 of the cash for the Inmate Welfare Fund and the Internal Revenue Service has already spoken for the rest, saying it will be applied to an $11-million lien against Brown. The soul singer is serving a six-year term for assault and leading lawmen on a high-speed chase.
