Re: Request for supervised temporary release under Wis. Admin. Code DOC ch. 325
I request temporary release under supervision for the purpose and dates stated below. DOC § 325.06 places the release decision with the warden or a designee authorized in writing. I ask the institution to evaluate this request under its submission procedure and, if approved, issue the written release order required by DOC § 325.09.

3. Proposed Release and Supervision Plan

DOC § 325.04 requires direct supervision by staff or an approved sponsor designated by the warden. The warden determines the supervision level. I will comply with the release order, department rules, and all conditions imposed under DOC § 325.10.
4. Supporting Material
☐ Court notice or law-enforcement request
☐ Medical appointment or treatment record
☐ Family-event or illness verification
☐ Event, program, interview, or release-planning confirmation

☐ Other: [________________________________]
I request written notice of the decision and, if approved, a release order stating the destination, departure and return times, accompaniment, purpose, and conditions under DOC § 325.09. I understand that an unescorted leave is a separate DOC ch. 326 process; this request seeks supervised temporary release under DOC ch. 325.
Respectfully submitted,

Criminal law paperwork covers every stage of a criminal case, from the first appearance and bail motion through pretrial motions, plea agreements, sentencing, and appeals. Deadlines in criminal cases are short and often unforgiving, and constitutional rights can be waived just by missing a filing. Using the right motion at the right time can mean the difference between evidence getting suppressed, charges getting reduced, or a case getting dismissed entirely.
