It seems to me that they just found common ground, like Charles Koch and Mike Rowe have. ALEC produces models for a huge number of laws, the vast majority with which the Koch brothers are politically aligned. To me it doesn't seem to be a stretch that the people who founded the Cato Institute and bankrolled the Libertarian Party would agree with a conservative legislative group on a whole bunch of issues, but not on prison sentencing reform.
