301.048 Annotation 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 Wis. 2d 348, 509 N.W.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 that more time is required to meet those concerns. State v. Turner, 200 Wis. 2d 168, 546 N.W.2d 880 (Ct. App. 1996), 95-1295.
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 Wis. 2d 321, 558 N.W.2d 642 (Ct. App. 1996).

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 from of confinement. State ex rel. Harris v. Smith, 220 Wis. 2d 158, 582 N.W.2d 131 (Ct. App. 1998).
