301.03 AnnotationWisconsin law empowers circuit courts to impose conditions of extended supervision and probation and to modify those conditions through a formal statutory process. However, actual administration of the sentence and conditions is entrusted to the Department of Corrections. In this case, the circuit court likely stepped over the line when the court imposed a condition that the defendant could not live with any women or unrelated children without the permission of the court, and the court intended to administer that condition through case-by-case oversight.

Williams-Holmes, 2023 WI 49, 408 Wis. 2d 1, 991 N.W.2d 373, 21-0809. 301.032301.032 Juvenile correctional services; supervisory functions of state department. 301.032(1)(a)(a) The department shall supervise the administration of juvenile correctional services.

The department may sue and be sued. 301.04 HistoryHistory: 1989 a. 31. 301.04 AnnotationThe Department of Corrections (DOC) is entitled to sovereign immunity. DOC lacks sufficient attributes to render it an independent going concern. Despite the breadth of its statutory powers, the character of those powers reveals that the legislature did not intend DOC to be anything other than an arm of the state. The legislature has not expressly waived DOC’s sovereign immunity. This section is not an express waiver of DOC’s tort immunity but rather addresses DOC’s capacity to be sued. Mayhugh v.
