Description
1 Jamie Jardine appeals an order affirming a decision of the Wisconsin Parole Commission denying his application for discretionary parole. The Commission denied parole based in part on findings that Jardine had not served sufficient time for punishment, his program participation has not been satisfactory, and release at this time would involve an unreasonable risk to the public. Jardine contends these findings do not provide a legitimate basis for denying parole, are not supported by the evidence and violate the prohibition against ex post facto laws because: (1) the findings reflect the policies of a former governor and secretary of the Department of Corrections to deny discretionary parole until an inmate is close to his mandatory release date; (2) the finding that Jardine did not serve sufficient time as punishment exceeds the parole commissions authority; and (3) the finding that Jardine continues to pose a risk to the public because he did not complete treatment programs constitutes a "Catch-22" because the prison would not allow him in the appropriate programs. We reject these arguments and affirm the order.
