302.11 Annotation The presumptive mandatory release scheme under sub. (1g) does not create a protectible liberty interest in parole. The parole commission may deny mandatory release to otherwise eligible prisoners when, in its discretion, the prisoner either poses a risk to the public or refuses to participate in necessary counseling and treatment. Because a prisoner is not entitled to release on the presumptive mandatory release date, he or she is not entitled to any due process protections. State ex rel. Gendrich v. Litscher, 2001 WI App 163, 246 Wis. 2d 814, 632 N.W.2d 878, 00-3527.
302.11 Annotation Sub. (7) (am) [formerly (a)] does not distinguish between the portion of an original sentence for felony offenses and the portion of an original sentence for misdemeanor offenses. Darby v. Litscher, 2002 WI App 258, 258 Wis. 2d 270, 655 N.W.2d 129, 02-1018.
302.11 Annotation Incarcerating a person beyond the termination of his or her sentence without penological justification violates the 8th amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment when it is the product of deliberate indifference. To comply with due process, prison officials cannot ignore an inmate's request to recalculate his or her sentence and must place some procedure in place to address such requests. Russell v. Lazar, 300 F. Supp 2d 316 (2004).
302.11 Annotation The department is not at this time required by law to restore forfeited good time allowances or immediately to release anyone committed under the sex crimes act whose maximum term of commitment including forfeited good time has not expired. 61 Atty. Gen. 77.
302.11 Annotation A mandatory release parolee has a protectible interest, including a conditional liberty interest, in being free from involuntary use of psychotropic drugs; Wisconsin procedure imposing administration of these drugs as a parole condition is unconstitutional. Felce v. Feidler, 974 F.2d 1484 (1992).
302.11 Annotation In the absence of a showing of an abuse of discretion by the department, a prisoner released on parole is not entitled to an absolute discharge because it was granted to other prisoners. Hansen v. Schmidt, 329 F. Supp. 141 (1971).
302.11 Annotation A prisoner is not entitled to counsel at a hearing at which good time is forfeited for a parole violation. Sanchez v. Schmidt, 352 F. Supp. 628 (1973).
