Undercofler, Chief Justice.
Sutton was convicted in the State Court of Fulton County on a five-count accusation for pimping. He was sentenced, as modified, to three consecutive one-year sentences. The convictions were affirmed on direct appeal. Sutton v. State, 149 Ga. App. 190 (254 SE2d 158) (1979). Pretermitting the bar of previous habeas corpus where the issue might have been raised, we address questions concerning "good time allowance” for "misdemeanors of a high and aggravated nature.”
