I don't think the ACLU had anything to do with it. He received a 14-year prison sentence. He was a model prisoner and eligible for parole after 8 years. Unable to find a community willing to accept him, the state allowed him to serve out his 1-year probation living in a mobile home in San Quentin. At the end of his parole, he went back to Florida, from whence he originally came.

Since that time, California has substantially stiffened sentencing and probation guidelines.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It would be hard to find a more deserving recipient of "cruel and unusual".
