Wis. Admin. Code Department of Corrections DOC 326.05 - Process for obtaining leave
(1) The inmate or
an employee on behalf of the inmate shall apply for a leave by submitting a
completed, signed application and leave agreement.
(2) In completing these documents, the inmate
shall be required to provide all necessary information, prove eligibility, and
agree in advance to all conditions of the leave, including, but not limited to
geographic and travel conditions, including travel routes and mode of
transportation, the specific geographic confines within which the inmate is
authorized to move, any other condition on movement, conduct or communication
consistent with the intent of this chapter, and any urinalysis or breathalyzer
tests, personal or strip searches by department staff or law enforcement
personnel.
(3) The warden or
superintendent shall designate a staff member to investigate and verify the
application information according to the following procedure:
(a) Verify that there are no outstanding
detainers, pending charges, or revocations.
(b) Verify the accuracy of the information in
the application and the inmate's eligibility under s.
DOC 326.04.
This investigation shall include contact with anyone who can verify the
accuracy of the information in the application. If, upon investigation, the
inmate is found ineligible, the staff member shall note the reason for the
ineligibility on the application.
(c) Notify the parole agent assigned to the
inmate of the details of the approved leave.
(d) Attempt to determine potential community
reaction to the proposed leave, including, any input from the parole agent,
local law enforcement authorities and district attorneys.

(3) shall recommend approval or denial of the inmate's application for an
unescorted leave and shall refer the recommendation to approve or deny the
leave to the warden or superintendent. If a recommendation to deny the
unescorted leave is based on insufficient time for institution staff to
investigate, review or process the application prior to the requested leave
departure date, the staff member shall advise the inmate that he or she may
apply for a temporary leave under supervision as provided in ch. DOC
325.
(5) The warden or
superintendent shall review any recommendation and shall do either of the
following:
(a) Deny the leave.
(b) Approve the leave, and impose conditions.
The inmate shall sign a statement agreeing to the conditions as a prerequisite
to leave being granted.
