Absurd article by NYT.
According to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch#Trial_and_prison it was not really a prison.
He got five years but got out after some eight months. During that time he also dictated his Mein Kampf book to Hess and another of his allies. See also the photo in that article of a "cozy" meeting in the "prison".
