In re Pers. Restraint of Winton ( 2020 )

NOTICE: SLIP OPINION
(not the court’s final written decision)
The opinion that begins on the next page is a slip opinion. Slip opinions are the
written opinions that are originally filed by the court.
A slip opinion is not necessarily the court’s final written decision. Slip opinions
can be changed by subsequent court orders. For example, a court may issue an
order making substantive changes to a slip opinion or publishing for precedential
purposes a previously “unpublished” opinion. Additionally, nonsubstantive edits
(for style, grammar, citation, format, punctuation, etc.) are made before the
opinions that have precedential value are published in the official reports of court
decisions: the Washington Reports 2d and the Washington Appellate Reports. An
opinion in the official reports replaces the slip opinion as the official opinion of
the court.
The slip opinion that begins on the next page is for a published opinion, and it
has since been revised for publication in the printed official reports. The official
text of the court’s opinion is found in the advance sheets and the bound volumes
of the official reports. Also, an electronic version (intended to mirror the

JOHNSON, J.—This case involves the discretion of the Indeterminate
Sentence Review Board (ISRB), under chapter 9.94A RCW and chapter 9.95
RCW, to restrict a parolee’s ability to travel while serving community custody.
The State seeks reversal of an unpublished Court of Appeals decision granting Don
Wesley Winton’s personal restraint petition (PRP) and striking a geographic
community custody condition imposed pursuant to RCW 9.95.420(2) that
restricted his travel into Clark County without prior approval. The Court of
Appeals analyzed the condition as implicating a fundamental constitutional right to
travel, applied strict scrutiny, found the condition was not narrowly tailored, and
vacated the condition. We reject the Court of Appeals’ analytical lens on the

grounds that a parolee remains under state custody and their constitutional right to
travel is curtailed and can be restricted under the statute. We reverse the Court of
Appeals and dismiss the PRP.
FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
In 2007, Winton pleaded guilty in Clark County Superior Court to two
counts of first degree child molestation and one count of third degree child
molestation. The sentencing court imposed an indeterminate sentence of 98 months
to life on one of the counts of first degree child molestation. The sentencing court
also imposed no contact orders with respect to the two victims, one permanent and
one for five years. The victims live in Clark County.
In September 2014, the ISRB granted Winton’s conditional release. The
initial conditions of release included geographic restrictions prohibiting Winton
from traveling to Seattle, Clark County, or Clallam County without prior written
approval from his community corrections officer and the ISRB. In October 2014,
the ISRB added an additional condition prohibiting travel to Skamania County and
the portion of Oregon north of Highway 20 without prior permission. In 2016, the
ISRB added Arch Cape, Oregon to the list of prohibited locations. In May 2018,
Winton filed this personal restraint petition seeking the removal of the
geographical conditions of his community custody. In July 2018, the ISRB
removed all geographic restrictions except the condition that he not enter Clark

County without prior written approval; the victims still lived in Clark County and
Winton had requested and received permission to travel through the county in the
past. Winton asserts that he periodically travels to visit with his biological daughter
in Oregon and asserts that the Clark County restriction is burdensome because it
prohibits traveling to Oregon using Interstate 5 without first obtaining permission.1
Winton filed this challenge as a PRP in the Court of Appeals. The Court of
Appeals granted Winton’s PRP, analyzing the restriction as impacting Winton’s
constitutional right to travel, applying strict scrutiny to the ISRB’s travel condition,
and finding that it was not narrowly tailored. 2
ANALYSIS
We review questions of law in PRPs de novo. In re Pers. Restraint of Coats,
173 Wn.2d 123, 133, 267 P.3d 324 (2011). Community custody conditions are
reviewed for an abuse of discretion, but we review whether an entity had authority
to impose such restrictions de novo. State v. Armendariz, 160 Wn.2d 106, 110, 156
P.3d 201 (2007). The State’s primary concern and argument centers on the
standard of review applied by the Court of Appeals.
1
The ISRB narrowed the Clark County travel restriction in December 2018, allowing
Winton to travel through Clark County, requiring permission only if Winton desires Clark
County to be his final destination.

The Washington Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys [Lawyers] filed an amicus
curiae brief in this case.

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
While the right to travel is recognized as a fundamental right of citizenship,
this right is affected by a criminal conviction. See Bagley v. Harvey, 718 F.2d 921,
924 (9th Cir. 1983); see also Jones v. Helms, 452 U.S. 412, 420, 101 S. Ct. 2434,
69 L. Ed. 2d 118 (1981) (“[A]ppellee’s own misconduct had qualified his right to
travel interstate before he sought to exercise that right.”). Bagley addressed
whether a parole commission’s decision to parole Bagley to Iowa violated his right
to travel. After noting that other courts have found that parolees have a right to
travel, the Bagley court reached the opposite conclusion and upheld the travel
condition, reasoning that
[t]here can be no doubt that Bagley’s constitutional right to
interstate travel was extinguished upon his valid convictions and
imprisonment. Since, to this date, Bagley has never regained that
freedom of travel he lost upon conviction, he may not invoke the due
process clause of the fifth amendment to compel the Government to
grant him the desired right.
718 F.2d at 924 (internal citation omitted).
We find the analysis in Bagley to be persuasive and applicable here.
Following a conviction and during the period of imprisonment, the limitation on
the right to travel is similar to the loss of other constitutional rights. 3 This
reasoning applies to individuals serving community custody. Community custody
is an extension of incarceration where an individual’s “‘constitutional rights . . . are
3We do not reach the question of whether the right to travel is restored to individuals
who fully complete their sentences.

subject to the infringements authorized by the SRA [Sentencing Reform Act of
1981], RCW 9.94A.’” State v. Ross, 129 Wn.2d 279, 287, 916 P.2d 405 (1996)
(second alteration in original) (quoting In re Pers. Restraint of Caudle, 71 Wn.
App. 679, 683, 863 P.2d 570 (1993) (Sweeney, J., concurring)). Because an
individual who is transferred from total confinement to community custody
remains under the continuing jurisdiction of the ISRB, the right to travel is not
entirely restored. To the extent that the Court of Appeals cases have held that a
parolee under community custody possesses an unrestricted constitutional right to
travel and have held that strict scrutiny applies when reviewing such conditions,
we reject that analysis and level of scrutiny. See In re Pers. Restraint of Martinez,
2 Wn. App. 2d 904, 913, 413 P.3d 1043 (2018); State v. Sims, 152 Wn. App. 526,
531, 216 P.3d 470 (2009), aff’d on other grounds, 171 Wn.2d 436, 256 P.3d 285(2011). We decline to adopt the factored analysis from State v. Schimelpfenig, 128
Wn. App. 224, 229, 115 P.3d 338 (2005), to the analysis of a community custody
condition, as the Schimelpfenig factors are premised on a constitutional strict
scrutiny standard of review. 4
4
We acknowledge, however, that some of the Schimelpfenig factors align with the
considerations the ISRB must undertake in imposing conditions of community custody under
RCW 9.94A.704(10)(c). Schimelpfenig sets out nonexclusive factors for courts to consider under
the strict scrutiny standard of review: “(1) whether the restriction is related to protecting the
safety of the victim or witness of the underlying offense; (2) whether the restriction is punitive
and unrelated to rehabilitation; (3) whether the restriction is unduly severe and restrictive
5

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
Instead, we derive guidance from the statutory authority defining the ISRB’s
discretion to impose community custody conditions. The ISRB is authorized to
“exercise independent judgment” regarding decisions concerning “offenders’
release, revocation, reinstatement, or the imposition of conditions of supervision.”
RCW 9.95.0002(8). When imposing community custody conditions, the ISRB
must comply with the statutory definition of “community custody” under RCW
9.94A.704:
“Community custody” means that portion of an offender’s sentence
subject to controls including crime-related prohibitions and
affirmative conditions from the court, the board, or the department of
corrections based on risk to community safety, that is served under
supervision in the community, and which may be modified or revoked
for violations of release conditions.
RCW 9.95.0001(2) (emphasis added).5 “Crime-related prohibition” is defined as
“an order of a court prohibiting conduct that directly relates to the circumstances
of the crime for which the offender has been convicted.” RCW 9.94A.030(10)
(emphasis added); see RCW 9.95.0001(3). Moreover, an imposed condition must
be reasonably related to the crime of the conviction, the offender’s risk of
because the defendant resides or is employed in the area from which he is banished; (4) whether
the defendant may petition the court to temporarily lift the restriction if necessary; and (5)
whether less restrictive means are available to satisfy the State’s compelling interest.” 128 Wn.
App. at 229.
5
Based on the language, “including crime-related prohibitions and affirmative
conditions,” we recognize that RCW 9.95.0001(2) establishes nonexclusive considerations.
However, in this case, our focus is on “crime-related prohibitions,” and those additional
considerations are not before us.
6

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
reoffending, and the safety of the community or it will be removed. RCW
9.94A.704(10)(c)(i)-(iii). Taken together, any community custody condition
imposed by the ISRB, even those that implicate constitutional freedoms, must bear
a reasonable relation to the circumstances of the crime, the offender’s risk of
reoffense, and public safety.
Based on the statutory sentencing authority, we have evaluated sentencing
conditions for their reasonableness. In State v. Riley, we reviewed a sentencing
condition that infringed on the defendant’s freedom of association because it
prevented him from associating with other computer hackers. 121 Wn.2d 22, 36-
38, 846 P.2d 1365 (1993). We reasoned that because “crime-related” prohibitions
serve a primarily punitive purpose and are left to the discretion of the sentencing
authority, the sentence will be reversed only if it is manifestly unreasonable. Our
analysis instead recognized that “[l]imitations upon fundamental rights are
permissible” for the duration of the offender’s sentence where restrictions are
“imposed sensitively. . . . [and are] ‘reasonably necessary to accomplish the
essential needs of the state and public order.’” Riley, 121 Wn.2d at 37-38 (quoting
Malone v. United States, 502 F.2d 554, 556 (9th Cir. 1974)). In that case, the
condition was not unconstitutional; it was reasonably related to the defendant’s
crime of computer trespass and was imposed to prevent the defendant from
reoffending.

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
While sentencing conditions are distinguishable in some aspects, we later
undertook a similar analysis in the context of community custody conditions. State
v. Bahl, 164 Wn.2d 739, 753, 193 P.3d 678 (2008). In reviewing a vagueness
challenge to a community custody condition, we recognized that the imposition of
“conditions of community custody is within the discretion of the sentencing court
and will be reversed if manifestly unreasonable.” Bahl, 164 Wn.2d at 753 (citing
Riley, 121 Wn.2d at 37). Further, the imposition of an unconstitutional condition
would be manifestly unreasonable. Recognizing this rule in State v. Hai Minh
Nguyen, 191 Wn.2d 671, 678, 425 P.3d 847 (2018), we assessed whether a
condition imposed by the sentencing court was crime related. We held that
community custody conditions are reviewed for an abuse of discretion and that a
court does not abuse its discretion if a reasonable relationship exists between the
crime and the condition. Nguyen, 191 Wn.2d at 678, 683-84.
While these cases analyzed community custody conditions imposed by the
sentencing court, the same reasoning applies here to community custody conditions
imposed by the ISRB. Both authorities possess broad discretion to impose crime-
related community conditions. RCW 9.94A.703(3)(f); RCW 9.95.0001(2); RCW
9.95.0002(8). Accordingly, we review whether the ISRB abused its discretion in
imposing a particular community custody condition. See Nguyen, 191 Wn.2d at
683. Given that parolees under community custody are still serving their sentences,
8

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
conditions may implicate a parolee’s diminished constitutional rights. Based on the
statutory authority, the relevant inquiry is whether the imposed condition is
“crime-related,” meaning it is reasonably related to the crime, the offender’s risk of
reoffense, and the protection of public safety. RCW 9.94A.704(10)(c)(i)-(iii); see
RCW 9.95.0001(2). If the condition fails to meet these statutory requirements, it is
manifestly unreasonable and should be removed.
Turning to the condition imposed in this case, we hold that it was reasonable
to require Winton to obtain written approval before entering Clark County.
Contrary to Winton’s characterization of this condition as akin to a banishment
order, even if Winton possessed an unrestricted constitutional right to travel, this
condition would not infringe on that right. Winton does not reside or work in Clark
County. He expresses a need to travel through the area via the interstate highway to
visit his daughter in Oregon, but he does not demonstrate any need to otherwise
stop or engage in activity within Clark County.
The condition does not ban Winton from Clark County. The record does not
indicate that Winton was ever denied approval to travel through Clark County or
that Winton ever violated the condition and was punished. Nor does Winton
complain of any alleged prohibitions on his ability to enter the county. Rather, the
condition requires preapproval from the ISRB and community corrections officer
to justifiably notify the victims when Winton anticipates entering the area.
9

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
The condition complies with the statutory requirements, that is, it bears a
reasonable relation to the crime, the risk of reoffense, and public safety. The
condition directly relates to the crime because Winton’s victims reside, work, and
attend school within Clark County. It also reasonably reduces the risk of reoffense,
ensures public safety, and notably, protects the victims and their families by
preventing contact with Winton. The ISRB properly exercised its discretion in
imposing this condition.
CONCLUSION
We reject the Court of Appeals’ holding that strict scrutiny applies to parole
conditions and its conclusion that persons serving community custody possess an
unqualified constitutional right to travel. An individual’s right to travel is limited
by a criminal conviction during the period of imprisonment and release on
community custody does not alter this limitation. Where a community custody
condition is imposed by the ISRB, it must be reasonably related to the crime,
recidivism, and public safety. The ISRB has broad discretion in individual cases to
craft appropriate conditions. We hold that the condition requiring Winton to obtain
preapproval before entering Clark County was a reasonable exercise of authority.
We reverse the Court of Appeals and dismiss the PRP.

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
No. 97452-7
GORDON McCLOUD, J. (concurring)—The majority holds that Don
Wesley Winton, who has been conditionally released from prison, has lost his
fundamental, constitutional right to travel for the length of his sentence. Because
Winton’s community custody sentence lasts the rest of his life, the majority’s
holding means that Winton has lost that fundamental, constitutional right for the
rest of his life. I certainly agree that while he is serving community custody, the
Indeterminate Sentence Review Board (ISRB) may restrict Winton’s right to
travel. And I agree that the narrow restriction now imposed on Winton (that he
must get permission to enter Clark County if that county is his final destination) is
permissible, both statutorily and constitutionally.
But I disagree with the majority’s conclusion that Winton has lost all
constitutional protections for the rest of his life and that only the statutory scheme
protects him from ISRB overreach. I therefore respectfully concur.
Originally, upon his conditional release from prison, the ISRB barred
Winton from entering Seattle, Clark County, and Clallam County, without written

approval, for the rest of his life. Personal Restraint Pet. Ex. D at 1-2, In re Pers.
Restraint of Winton, No. 52371-0-II (Wash. Ct. App. 2018). Later, the ISRB
added Skamania County and “the state of Oregon north of Highway 20” to the list
of places from which Winton was barred. Id. Ex. I. Highway 20 splits Oregon
roughly in half, meaning that the ISRB effectively banned Winton from the entire
northern half of the state. Id. Ex. K. Winton claimed that these restrictions
unconstitutionally burdened his fundamental right to travel.
We recognize a fundamental right to travel. See State v. Lee, 135 Wn.2d
369, 389, 957 P.2d 471 (1998) (“The freedom to travel throughout the United
States has long been recognized as a basic right under the United States
Constitution.” (citing Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330, 92 S. Ct. 995, 31 L. Ed. 2d
274 (1972))); see also Eggert v. City of Seattle, 81 Wn.2d 840, 841-44, 505 P.2d
801 (1973) (discussing the origins of the right). In fact, we recognize that a
convicted criminal retains that right: “A defendant’s fundamental rights limit the
sentencing court’s ability to impose sentencing conditions.” In re Pers. Restraint
of Rainey, 168 Wn.2d 367, 377, 229 P.3d 686 (2010).
And until today, we had held that “[t]he extent to which a sentencing
condition affects a constitutional right is a legal question subject to strict scrutiny.”
Id. at 374 (emphasis added) (citing State v. Warren, 165 Wn.2d 17, 34, 195 P.3d

(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
940 (2008)). In this context, we have described two different strict-scrutiny
standards of review. We have said that “‘[c]onditions that interfere with
fundamental rights’ must be ‘sensitively imposed’ so that they are ‘reasonably
necessary to accomplish the essential needs of the State and public order.’” Id. at
377 (alteration in original) (quoting Warren, 165 Wn.2d at 32). We have also said
that “crime-related prohibitions affecting fundamental rights must be narrowly
drawn” so that there is “no reasonable alternative way to achieve the State’s
interest.” Warren, 165 Wn.2d at 34-35 (citing State v. Riley, 121 Wn.2d 22, 37-38,
846 P.2d 1365 (1993); State v. Ancira, 107 Wn. App. 650, 655, 27 P.3d 1246(2001)). Either way, we have always subjected these conditions to exacting
constitutional review.
Our Courts of Appeals have appropriately followed our precedent and
strictly scrutinized sentencing conditions that affect a defendant’s right to travel.

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
Despite all this precedent, the majority relies on an out-of-jurisdiction case
to hold that people on community custody have no constitutional right to travel at
all. Majority at 4 (quoting Bagley v. Harvey, 718 F.2d 921, 924 (9th Cir. 1983)).
The majority reasons that “[f]ollowing a conviction and during the period of
imprisonment, the limitation on the right to travel is similar to the loss of other
constitutional rights.” Id. It continues that this “reasoning applies to individuals
serving community custody.” Id. I hope the majority does not mean what it says.
Until now, a conviction has not meant a loss of constitutional rights. See, e.g.,
State v. Olsen, 189 Wn.2d 118, 126, 399 P.3d 1141 (2017) (holding that “even
though probationers do not enjoy the same expectation of privacy as other
citizens,” they still have “reduced privacy interests under [Wash. Const.] article I,
section 7”). Even if the majority means something other than what it says and
intends to strip only those on community custody of their fundamental right to
travel (rather than strip all convicted people of all their constitutional rights), it
would still be overruling all our precedent subjecting sentencing conditions that
affect fundamental rights to strict scrutiny. Rainey, 168 Wn.2d at 374; Warren,
165 Wn.2d at 34-35.
It is certainly possible that citywide, countywide, and other travel
restrictions could survive strict scrutiny. As the Schimelpfenig court recognized,
4
For the current opinion, go to https://www.lexisnexis.com/clients/wareports/.
In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
“the propriety of such restrictions must turn on the facts of each case.” 128 Wn.
App. at 230; see also id. at 229 (listing five nonexclusive factors to consider).
Although this standard of review is demanding,
the state has far more latitude in determining what would qualify as
legitimate [government] objectives when dealing with a convicted
criminal than it would if it sought to apply a restrictive condition in
another setting. A less rigorous standard of review displays an
insufficient level of respect for the continuing constitutional rights of
offenders. Any hope that an offender might be rehabilitated or have
some respect for the criminal justice system in the future would seem
to follow more naturally from the imposition of a sentence that
respects the rights and dignity of the offender than from the
imposition of a sentence that shows a disregard for those vital issues.
Andrew Horwitz, Coercion, Pop-Psychology, and Judicial Moralizing: Some
Proposals for Curbing Judicial Abuse of Probation Conditions, 57 WASH. & LEE
L. REV. 75, 158 (2000). In other words, the State certainly has legitimate interests
in the safety of victims, the safety of the general public, and the rehabilitation of
offenders that could justify limitation or even deprivation of certain constitutional
rights (for example, the right to possess arms or the right to associate with certain
people).
The majority, however, goes even further than simply adopting a less-
onerous standard of review: it strips Winton of his constitutional right to travel
altogether. And since Winton will serve community custody for the rest of his life,
he will never regain that constitutional right.

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
As the majority lays out in detail, Winton is protected to some extent by the
statutory scheme. I certainly agree with the majority’s observation that “any
community custody condition imposed by the ISRB, even those that implicate
constitutional freedoms, must bear a reasonable relation to the circumstances of the
crime, the offender’s risk of reoffense, and public safety.” Majority at 7. This will
go a long way toward ensuring that most conditions are “‘reasonably necessary to
accomplish the essential needs of the State and public order,’” Rainey, 168 Wn.2d
at 377 (quoting Warren, 165 Wn.2d at 32), if not “narrowly drawn” so that there is
“no reasonable alternative way to achieve the State’s interest,” Warren, 165 Wn.2d
at 34-35 (citing Riley, 121 Wn.2d at 37-38; Ancira, 107 Wn. App. at 655). But by
relying on the statutory scheme, while eliminating Winton’s constitutional rights,
the majority is able to avoid the exacting constitutional standard of review and
instead employ the abuse-of-discretion standard. See majority at 8. In all this,
those conditionally released from prison, those who hope to move on from their
convictions and restart their lives, lose.
Apparently recognizing the questionable constitutionality of banning Winton
from Washington’s largest city, three counties, and half the state of Oregon, the
ISRB, over the course of this litigation, has significantly narrowed its conditions.
Now, the ISRB bars Winton only from entering Clark County without approval,
6

In re Pers. Restraint of Winton, No. 97452-7
(Gordon McCloud, J., concurring)
and then only if Clark County is Winton’s final destination. Majority at 2-3 & n.1.
For many of the same reasons that the majority holds that this current condition is
statutorily permissible, see id. at 9-10, I would hold that this condition, as it now
exists, is constitutionally permissible, too.
But I would also make clear that Winton retains his constitutional rights. I
therefore respectfully concur.
