How can I petition for a sentence modification while on parole or probation?

In Wisconsin, a petition for sentence modification while on parole or probation can be submitted to the court in which you were convicted. Most requests for sentence modification are made to reduce a sentence or remove a condition of parole or probation. First, speak with your probation officer to make sure that submitting a petition is right for your situation. If you are going to submit a petition for sentence modification, it is important that you provide accurate and complete information. This includes providing information about the crime you committed, any mitigating circumstances that led to the crime, your progress in complying with parole or probation requirements, and any rehabilitative efforts you have made. You will need to make an official request to the court through a written motion and by filing paperwork with your local court. This motion will ask the court to modify your sentence and/or conditions of parole or probation. The motion should include your current sentence and the proposed modification you are requesting from the court. You may also be required to provide supporting documentation of mitigating circumstances and rehabilitative efforts. In some cases, the court may hold a hearing to consider your motion and may call witnesses to testify on your behalf. Your parole or probation officer may be asked to provide a testimony or recommendation to the court. The court will then make a decision to either grant or deny your petition. If your petition is approved, the court will modify the terms of your sentence according to your request. If the petition is denied, you will remain under the current terms of your sentence.
