Walker Administration Puts 181 Men on GPS, Charges Them $200 a Month, But Doesn't Seem to be Monito

Braam returned home from work that Friday and found in his mailbox a letter from the Department of Corrections, which was curious since he wasn’t under any form of supervision.
The letter stated that it was the opinion of Attorney General Brad Schimel — who has since been voted out of office in favor of Democrat Josh Kaul — that Braam met the criteria for lifetime GPS monitoring because his was an offense sexual in nature and Braam had committed crimes on “separate occasions.”
When Braam was 20 years old he was sexual with a high school aged teenager who was 15. As part of his conviction Braam is required to register with the Department of Corrections and state basic information like his address, employment, school and things like that.
Because there were two incidents with the same person, Braam’s single trial led to one conviction on two charges. In Schimel’s opinion, which he wrote in 2017, that meant Braam met the “separate occasions” standard — which, under Wisconsin law, makes him eligible for lifetime GPS monitoring — which he must pay for.
