Read together, ss. 301.046 and 301.048 permit an escape charge when a prisoner in community residential confinement cuts off an electronic bracelet and fails to return. State v. Holliman, 180 W (2d) 348, 509 NW (2d) 73 (Ct. App. 1993).
301.048 Annotation
The extension under s. 973.032 of an intensive sanctions program placement period must be based on public safety considerations and the participant's need for punishment and treatment. All that needs to be shown at an extension hearing is that the participant has not made sufficient progress in the program and more time is required to meet those concerns. State v. Turner, 200 W (2d) 168, 546 NW (2d) 880 (Ct. App. 1996).

301.048 Annotation
Custody of a person in the intensive sanctions program under s. 301.048 exists for purposes of sentence credit under s. 973.155 only if the person's sanctions program sufficiently infringes upon the person's freedom to equate with being under the state's control for a substantial time. State v. Collett, 207 W (2d) 321, 558 NW (2d) 642 (Ct. App. 1996).

The department of corrections is not prevented form requiring a person on mandatory release parole to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. State ex rel. Macemon v. Reynolds, 208 W (2d) 594, 561 NW (2d) 779 (Ct. App. 1997).
301.048 Annotation
Administrative confinement may be followed by a criminal conviction for escape where both arise from a participant's leaving the halfway house where he was assigned under the intensive sanctions program. State v. Grosse, 210 W (2d) 173, 565 NW (2d) 164 (Ct. App. 1997).
301.048 Annotation
Placement under this section does not confer a liberty interest. A return to prison after revocation of status under the program is a change from a lesser to a higher form of confinement. State ex rel. Harris v. Smith, 220 W (2d) 158, 582 NW (2d) 131 (Ct. App. 1998).
