(CNN) Former Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter was sentenced Tuesday to 11 months in prison and three years of parole for corruption charges stemming from his misuse of more than $200,000 in campaign funds for a slew of personal expenses. Hunter pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to misuse campaign funds. Hunter will be on supervised release for three years and must participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program, and he will be housed somewhere in the western region of the United States. Assistant US Attorney Phillip Halpern had asked for a 14-month sentence for Hunter and took on the former Marine's character in an 87-page sentencing recommendation. "Defendant Duncan Hunter launched an improper, wide ranging, and dangerous assault on our system of justice," the document began.
