The inability of any inmate to |
| 20 | | become engaged in any such programs
by reason of insufficient |

The Department may also award 90 days of |

| 8 | | Department of Corrections. If, after an award of the master's |
| 9 | | or professional degree sentence credit has been made and the |
| 10 | | Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then |
| 11 | | the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180 |
| 12 | | days of sentence credit to any committed person who earned a |
| 13 | | master's or professional degree while he or she was held in |
| 14 | | pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the |
| 15 | | Department of Corrections. |
| 16 | | (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall |
| 17 | | also provide that
when the court's sentencing order recommends |
| 18 | | a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
crime was |
| 19 | | committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
|
| 20 | | Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence |
| 21 | | credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless |
| 22 | | he or she participates in and
completes a substance abuse |
| 23 | | treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to |
| 24 | | participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program |
| 25 | | in specific instances if the prisoner is not a good candidate |
| 26 | | for a substance abuse treatment program for medical, |

| | 10100HB0094ham001 | - 16 - | LRB101 02940 SLF 57998 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | programming, or operational reasons. Availability of
substance |
| 2 | | abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of fiscal |
| 3 | | resources
appropriated by the General Assembly for these |
| 4 | | purposes. If treatment is not
available and the requirement to |
| 5 | | participate and complete the treatment has not been waived by |
| 6 | | the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list |
| 7 | | under criteria
established by the Department. The Director may |
| 8 | | allow a prisoner placed on
a waiting list to participate in and |
| 9 | | complete a substance abuse education class or attend substance
|
| 10 | | abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance abuse treatment |
| 11 | | program. A prisoner on a waiting list who is not placed in a |
| 12 | | substance abuse program prior to release may be eligible for a |
| 13 | | waiver and receive sentence credit under clause (3) of this |
| 14 | | subsection (a) at the discretion of the Director.
|
| 15 | | (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall |
| 16 | | also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex |
| 17 | | offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender |
| 18 | | Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or |
| 19 | | she either has successfully completed or is participating in |
| 20 | | sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender |
| 21 | | Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to receive |
| 22 | | treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the lack |
| 23 | | of resources on the part of the Department, may, at the |
| 24 | | Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at a |
| 25 | | rate as the Director shall determine. |
| 26 | | (4.7) On or after the effective date of this amendatory Act |
|

| 2 | | (3), (4), or (4.1) of this subsection (a) may be awarded to a |
| 3 | | prisoner who is serving a sentence for an offense described in |
| 4 | | paragraph (2), (2.3), (2.4), (2.5), or (2.6) for credit earned |
| 5 | | on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the |
| 6 | | 100th General Assembly; provided, the award of the credits |
| 7 | | under this paragraph (4.7) shall not reduce the sentence of the |
| 8 | | prisoner to less than the following amounts: |
| 9 | | (i) 85% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is |
| 10 | | required to serve 85% of his or her sentence; or |
| 11 | | (ii) 60% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is |
| 12 | | required to serve 75% of his or her sentence, except if the |
| 13 | | prisoner is serving a sentence for gunrunning his or her |
| 14 | | sentence shall not be reduced to less than 75%; or . |
| 15 | | (iii) 100% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is |
| 16 | | required to serve 100% of his or her sentence. |
| 17 | | This paragraph (4.7) shall not apply to a prisoner serving |
| 18 | | a sentence for an offense described in subparagraph (i) of |
| 19 | | paragraph (2) of this subsection (a). |
| 20 | | (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate |
| 21 | | earlier than it
otherwise would because of a grant of earned |
| 22 | | sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this |
| 23 | | Section given at any time during the term, the Department shall |
| 24 | | give
reasonable notice of the impending release not less than |
| 25 | | 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's
|
| 26 | | Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate took |

|
|
|
| 1 | | place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney of the county |
| 2 | | into which the inmate will be released. The Department must |
| 3 | | also make identification information and a recent photo of the |
| 4 | | inmate being released accessible on the Internet by means of a |
| 5 | | hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate Early |
| 6 | | Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage.
The |
| 7 | | identification information shall include the inmate's: name, |
| 8 | | any known alias, date of birth, physical characteristics, |
| 9 | | commitment offense and county where conviction was imposed. The |
| 10 | | identification information shall be placed on the website |
| 11 | | within 3 days of the inmate's release and the information may |
| 12 | | not be removed until either: completion of the first year of |
| 13 | | mandatory supervised release or return of the inmate to custody |
| 14 | | of the Department.
|
| 15 | | (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
|
| 16 | | several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
|
| 17 | | shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
|
| 18 | | forfeiting of sentence credit.
|
| 19 | | (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
|
| 20 | | for revoking sentence credit, including revoking sentence |
| 21 | | credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this |
| 22 | | Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations |
| 23 | | for suspending or reducing
the rate of accumulation of sentence |
| 24 | | credit for specific
rule violations, during imprisonment. |
| 25 | | These rules and regulations
shall provide that no inmate may be |
| 26 | | penalized more than one
year of sentence credit for any one |
|
| | 10100HB0094ham001 | - 19 - | LRB101 02940 SLF 57998 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | infraction.
|
| 2 | | When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the |
| 3 | | rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for
an alleged |
| 4 | | infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor |
| 5 | | against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
sentence |
| 6 | | credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in |
| 7 | | subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this
Code, if the |
| 8 | | amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 |
| 9 | | month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds |
| 10 | | 30 days except where the infraction is committed
or discovered |
| 11 | | within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases,
the |
| 12 | | Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence |
| 13 | | credit.
The Board may subsequently approve the revocation of |
| 14 | | additional sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke |
| 15 | | sentence credit in
excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall |
| 16 | | not be empowered to review the
Department's decision with |
| 17 | | respect to the loss of 30 days of sentence
credit within any |
| 18 | | calendar year for any prisoner or to increase any penalty
|
| 19 | | beyond the length requested by the Department.
|
| 20 | | The Director of the Department of Corrections, in |
| 21 | | appropriate cases, may
restore up to 30 days of sentence |
| 22 | | credits which have been revoked, suspended
or reduced. Any |
| 23 | | restoration of sentence credits in excess of 30 days shall
be |
| 24 | | subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the |
| 25 | | Board may not
restore sentence credit in excess of the amount |
| 26 | | requested by the Director.

to one year of the |
| 4 | | sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
|

or against any of
their officers |
| 9 | | or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
|
| 10 | | pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is |
| 11 | | frivolous, the
Department of Corrections shall conduct a |
| 12 | | hearing to revoke up to
180 days of sentence credit by bringing |
| 13 | | charges against the prisoner
sought to be deprived of the |
| 14 | | sentence credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as provided |
| 15 | | in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
If the |

|
| 17 | | time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review Board may revoke |
| 18 | | all
sentence credit accumulated by the prisoner.
