The title was misleading. 

I've never heard of such an arrangement, but good for him.  I'd have done this as a young, single adult.

Title made me think a little, but I didn't seriously believe that a literal prison sentence was involved in the story. :) There are some good stories on making the best of challenging housing markets.
