PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin corrections officials made a rare exception for a medium-security prison inmate who was granted temporary leave for his father’s funeral. Department of Corrections’ policy allows for such a leave only for minimum-security prisoners. In this case, the father of the inmate, Thomas Christ (krist) was fatally shot near Wausaukee by a bank robber who died along with state Trooper Trevor Casper in exchange of gunfire in Fond du Lac. Corrections spokeswoman Joy Staab tells the State Journal that Timothy Christ has a record of “absolute compliance” during his time at Prairie du Chien Correctional Institution. Staab says the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the death of Christ’s father also played a role in his temporary release March 31st. The 31-year-old Christ is serving a 21-year sentence for four felonies, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
