Description
At the Peoples request, we granted review of this case as a companion to In re Huffman, ante, at page 552 [229 Cal. Rptr. 796, 724 P.2d 482]. In Huffman, we found no equal protection violation in the fact that persons committed for treatment as mentally disordered sex offenders (MDSOs), unlike addicted offenders committed to the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC), are denied "conduct" and "participation" credits while in the treatment facility which would reduce their maximum periods of confinement or incarceration. Appellant in this case makes a similar equal protection claim on behalf of persons confined for pretrial treatment as incompetent to stand trial. The Court of Appeal accepted appellants contention and ordered his sentence reduced accordingly.
