Lifetime Supervision

Wisconsin courts impose sentences against people who are convicted of a criminal offense by jury trial or bench trial (often called a judge trial) or who have pled guilty a crime. When a person is convicted of a sexual assault or other sex-based crime, they are usually sentenced to prison. In addition to a prison sentence and fines, a court may sentence a convicted sexual offender to lifetime supervision. Lifetime supervision may also be ordered if the person is found not guilty by reason of mental defect.

Requirements Of Lifetime Supervision Court Orders

Lifetime supervision is probation on steroids. Lifetime Supervision or Supervision subjects a person under the control of the department of corrections. More specifically, the department mandates the rules for the person placed in lifetime supervision and claims that the rules placed in effect are necessary to protect the public and rehabilitate the convicted sex offender.

Revocation of Lifetime Supervision

In some instances, an attorney can work with you to obtain a revocation of lifetime supervision after a period of time has elapsed since you were placed on lifetime supervision provided certain conditions are met - in other words, your record is clean since being placed on lifetime supervision and at least 15 years has elapsed since the original lifetime supervision order and you have not applied for revocation of lifetime supervision within the past two years. Other restrictions and conditions may also apply. To determine if you are eligible to apply for revocation and if it would be a wise step for you to take at this time, please take advantage of the free initial consultation to discuss your situation with an attorney.
