Green Bay board grants Dakota Vanfrochen 90-day, address‑specific residency with treatment conditions
Summary
The Green Bay Offender Residency Board approved a 90‑day, address‑specific residency for Dakota Vanfrochen with a requirement to reappear in December with proof of treatment enrollment and confirmation of halfway‑house furlough approval.
The Green Bay Offender Residency Board on an address‑specific, temporary basis approved Dakota Vanfrochen to reside at the listed address for 90 days and directed him to reappear in December with documentation of treatment and confirmation that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) or halfway house has approved furlough to the address.
Vanfrochen told the board he was sentenced in federal court to a five‑year term and five years of supervision; he said good‑time credits and placement in a Milwaukee halfway house shortened active incarceration and that he expects release from the halfway house to home confinement in November if BOP/parole approves. Board members and staff discussed the limited availability of federal offender‑specific treatment and recent approval for the applicant to receive local treatment while at the halfway house.
On documents, a U.S. probation officer supplied a judgment of conviction and cited an investigation that identified additional images and videos investigators described as related evidence; Vanfrochen disputed that all discovered files were part of his charge and said some materials were not specifically downloaded to his device. Lieutenant Allen and staff confirmed the board had a charging document and related materials but said the probation officer could not attend in person.
Family and supporters, including Brianna Schweitzer and other relatives, told the board the proposed residence would place Vanfrochen near a support network and that an immediate job opportunity exists with a family remodeling business. Sean Franzen, a case manager at the halfway house, told the board the halfway house had obtained BOP approval for local treatment and that, barring conduct problems, a transfer to home confinement in November was likely though dates can fluctuate under BOP policies.
Board members voiced concern that local treatment had not yet started and discussed timing of furlough and transfer. A motion to approve the specific address for 90 days passed; the board directed Vanfrochen to return in December with documentation showing he has engaged in treatment and confirmation that the halfway house/BOP has approved furloughs to the approved address. The board emphasized the approval was temporary and address‑specific; if he moves or conditions change he must notify the board and reappear as required.
