	INTRODUCTION TO CIVIL LIBERTIES LITIGATION
		Penitentiary records indicate that many of the armed trusties have been convicted of violent crimes, and that of the armed trusties serving as of April 1, 1971, 35% had not been psychologically tested, 40% of those tested were found to be retarded, and 71% of those tested were found to have personality disorders.
		The state was not and could not be brought before this Court, however, and it does not serve the ends of justice to fix monetary accountability on the state's employees when they did little more than administer their positions during a time of state perpetuation of intolerable conditions over which they had no meaningful control.
		The absence of evidence in the record of malicious intent by prison officials, and the still dormant state of judicial recognition of prisoners' rights in 1970 establishes that they were entitled to the defense of official immunity, which, as the district court correctly held, precluded their liability.

		McLeod contends that, under OCGA 17-13-23, the extradition documents on their face are insufficient to authorize extradition because there is no probable cause finding by Mississippi regarding escape, that is, there is the absence of an indictment charging him with escape or an affidavit before a magistrate attesting to his alleged escape.

		McLeod contends that the State has failed to respond to his habeas corpus petition within the "time period delineated" in OCGA 9-14-10 through 9-14-14, and therefore, has waived the prosecution of the extradition.
