Description
[42 Cal3d Page 553] We granted review after the Court of Appeal denied a writ of habeas corpus. The question presented is whether petitioner, once confined [42 Cal3d Page 554] for treatment as a mentally disordered sex offender (MDSO), was denied equal protection of the laws when he, unlike offenders confined for treatment as narcotics addicts, received no conduct or participation credits against a subsequent prison term for time spent in the treatment facility. We conclude that petitioner is not entitled to such credits and will disapprove certain Court of Appeal decisions insofar as they conflict with our views.
