304.06 Annotation A parole agent's failure to act on knowledge of similar prior violations did not preclude revocation. Van Ermen v. DHSS, 84 Wis. 2d 57, 267 N.W.2d 17 (1978).
304.06 Annotation Prison inmates subject to parole rescission are entitled to Morrissey-Gagnon due process. State ex rel. Klinke v. H&SS Dept. 87 Wis. 2d 110, 273 N.W.2d 379 (Ct. App. 1978).
304.06 Annotation Secretary's authority to revoke under s. 57.06 (3), 1987 stats. [now s. 304.06 (3)] cannot be bound by agent's representations. State ex rel. Lewis v. H&SS Dept. 89 Wis. 2d 220, 278 N.W.2d 232 (Ct. App. 1979).
304.06 Annotation Parole violation may not be proved entirely by unsubstantiated hearsay testimony. State ex rel. Henschel v. H&SS Dept. 91 Wis. 2d 268, 280 N.W.2d 785 (Ct. App. 1979).
304.06 Annotation Equal protection does not require symmetry in probation and parole systems. State v. Aderhold, 91 Wis. 2d 306, 284 N.W.2d 108 (Ct. App. 1979).
304.06 Annotation Probationer's due process right to prompt revocation proceedings was not triggered where probationer was detained as result of unrelated criminal proceedings. State ex rel. Alvarez v. Lotter, 91 Wis. 2d 329, 283 N.W.2d 408 (Ct. App. 1979).
304.06 Annotation Inmate who entered into Mutual Agreement Program (MAP) "contract" for discretionary parole may not bring civil action for breach of contract. Coleman v. Percy, 96 Wis. 2d 578, 292 N.W.2d 615 (1980).

State v. Spanbauer, 108 Wis. 2d 548, 322 N.W.2d 511 (Ct. App. 1982).
304.06 Annotation Due process was not violated by holding two revocation hearings dealing with the same conduct when the first hearing was based on facts and second hearing was based on a conviction. State ex rel. Leroy v. DHSS, 110 Wis. 2d 291, 329 N.W.2d 229 (Ct. App. 1982).
304.06 Annotation Sub.

(1) (b). Hansen v. Dane County Circuit Ct. 181 Wis. 2d 993, 513 N.W.2d 139 (Ct. App. 1994).

304.06 Annotation Sub. (3) does not provide authority to the department of corrections to make and enforce rules binding on the division of hearings and appeals regarding the revocation of parole or period of reincarceration in contested cases. The decision to impose reincarceration time is solely that of the division of hearings and appeals, and a department of corrections manual has no binding effect upon it. George v. Schwarz, 2001 WI App 72, 242 Wis. 2d 450, 626 N.W.2d 57.
304.06 Annotation Sub. (1m) permits the waiver of the minimum sentence service requirement if certain conditions are met. Such a determination removes the parole eligibility conditions that would otherwise apply under par. (1) (b), but it does not eliminate the necessity for a parole hearing. While the grant of parole might logically follow from a determination of extraordinary circumstances, the statute does not dictate that result. State ex rel. Szymanski v. Gamble, 2001 WI App 118, 244 Wis. 2d 272, 630 N.W.2d 570.
304.06 Annotation When required by the right to effectively present a defense, the state, having authority to do so, in the exercise of sound discretion must issue, and for an indigent pay the costs of, compulsory process to obtain the attendance of witnesses on behalf of probationers and parolees at revocation proceedings. 63 Atty. Gen. 176.
304.06 Annotation When a probationer or parolee is charged with a crime and may have otherwise violated conditions of release, revocation hearings based on the non-criminal violations should be held without delay. 65 Atty. Gen. 20.
304.06 Annotation A convict has no constitutional right to be paroled. Greenholtz v. Nebraska Penal Inmates, 442 U.S. 1 (1979).
304.06 Annotation Probation and parole revocation in Wisconsin. 1977 WLR 503.
