Description
Roland Riley appeals from a decision and an order denying his petition for a writ of certiorari and upholding a decision of
the Waupun Correctional Institution Program Review Committee (PRC) placing him in administrative confinement on suspicion
that he was involved in gang-related activities at the prison. One issue is dispositive: whether the committee exceeded its
authority when it relied upon unsworn statements from prison informants as a basis for holding Riley in administrative confinement.
We conclude that the committee exceeded its authority and we remand the matter to the trial court with instructions to order
that all records of the administrative confinement be expunged and any resulting change in Riley's status be reversed. 1 Pursuant to Wis. Adm. Code, sec. HSS 303.11(4)(b), 2 Riley was placed in temporary lockup pending investigation into gang-related
activities at the prison. The committee eventually concluded that Riley should be placed in administrative confinement, basing
its decision in part upon unsworn statements by confidential informants which had been collected by a prison officer investigating
gang activity. Riley appealed to the superintendent, who affirmed the committee's determination. He then sought certiorari
review in circuit court.
