Napoleon's time in exile should not be considered as time incarcerated. It is true that there were restrictions placed on discretionary movement but that was primarily because he had proven with his parole on Elba that he was a flight risk. On Elba he retained his title as Emperor and was given complete domininion over the 12,000 residents. On St. Helena he was denied the privilege of rank or title but he had his loyal retainers, servants and retinue. At Longwood House at least, he was treated as a head of state and was treated with great courtesy. His complaints about his treatment were regular and petty, but they were acknowledged and great care was exercised so that he could not consider his stay as abusive.

I think what you mean by this question is Was Napoleon an exile in San Francisco? the answer to which is no. He was an exile on the Island of Elba, which is in the Mediterranean between the island of Corsica (Napoleons birthplace) and Italy. He was exiled from 1814 to 1815. p.s. Nice job on the grammar.
