Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Imperiale
January 7, 2021337 Conn. 694
Summary
The court affirmed the revocation of the defendant's probation, holding that requiring him to reside at and complete treatment through a restrictive inpatient sex-offender facility did not violate due process, equal protection, or the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The facility was materially different from incarceration, reasonably related to rehabilitation and public safety, and selected for reasons tied to the defendant's risk and treatment needs rather than homelessness.
