Opinion

WILLIAMS, Judge.

Plaintiff, Abraham Rochon, Jr., filed this suit alleging that he suffered injuries on November 18, 1968 while he was an inmate at the Caddo Parish Penal Farm operated by the Caddo Parish Police Jury and named its insurer, Reliance Insurance Company, as defendant. Plaintiff alleged he was required to work on a sugar cane grinding machine and that three fingers on his left hand had to be amputated due to an accident caused by the alleged negligence of representatives of defendant’s insured.

[37]*37Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment rejecting the demands of plaintiff. The Police Jury intervened claiming immunity and opposing the motion for summary judgment. The trial court sustained defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed plaintiff’s suit and the opposition of the intervenor. Plaintiff and intervenor have appealed from this judgment.

Defendant based its motion for summary judgment on the following reasons:

(a) Plaintiff alleged that at the time of the accident he was an inmate at the Caddo Parish Penal Farm.
(b) As shown by Endorsement No. 1 attached to and forming a part of the policy of liability insurance issued by Reliance Insurance Company to the Police Jury inmates are excluded from coverage under the policy.
