He did do 2 or 3 years.
Are you sure you're not confusing PZ with RS?

Ralf I suspect, if he were to use pgp, would be like
me, and only
trust pgp-2.6.2a, the last one before they put Zimmerman in jail for
a few years.
PZ was never put in jail. He was investigated for illegal export of
'munitions', but the US government dropped the case after some years
without any charges being filed. From a quick scan of the web, it seems PZ did do jail
briefly, but it
was long before he wrote PGP.
