evaluations to the Governor and the |
26 | | General Assembly by September 30th of each
year. The reports |
|
| | HB2882 | - 14 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | shall include data relating to the recidivism rate among
|
2 | | program participants.
|
3 | | Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
|
4 | | limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly |
5 | | for these
purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied immediate |
6 | | admission shall be
placed on a waiting list under criteria |
7 | | established by the Department.
The inability of any inmate to |
8 | | become engaged in any such programs
by reason of insufficient |
9 | | program resources or for any other reason
established under the |
10 | | rules and regulations of the Department shall not be
deemed a |
11 | | cause of action under which the Department or any employee or
|
12 | | agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the |
13 | | inmate.
|
14 | | (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that an |
15 | | additional 90 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any |
16 | | prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing while the |
17 | | prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections. The |
18 | | sentence credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in |
19 | | addition to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence credit |
20 | | under any other paragraph of this Section, but shall also be |
21 | | pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in |
22 | | paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section.
The sentence |
23 | | credit provided for in this paragraph shall be available only |
24 | | to those prisoners who have not previously earned a high school |
25 | | diploma or a high school equivalency certificate. If, after an |
26 | | award of the high school equivalency testing sentence credit |
|
| | HB2882 | - 15 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | has been made, the Department determines that the prisoner was |
2 | | not eligible, then the award shall be revoked.
The Department |
3 | | may also award 90 days of sentence credit to any committed |
4 | | person who passed high school equivalency testing while he or |
5 | | she was held in pre-trial detention prior to the current |
6 | | commitment to the Department of Corrections. |
7 | | (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall |
8 | | also provide that
when the court's sentencing order recommends |
9 | | a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
crime was |
10 | | committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
|
11 | | Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence |
12 | | credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless |
13 | | he or she participates in and
completes a substance abuse |
14 | | treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to |
15 | | participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program |
16 | | and award the sentence credit in specific instances if the |
17 | | prisoner is not a good candidate for a substance abuse |
18 | | treatment program for medical, programming, or operational |
19 | | reasons. Availability of
substance abuse treatment shall be |
20 | | subject to the limits of fiscal resources
appropriated by the |
21 | | General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
|
22 | | available and the requirement to participate and complete the |
23 | | treatment has not been waived by the Director, the prisoner |
24 | | shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
established by |
25 | | the Department. The Director may allow a prisoner placed on
a |
26 | | waiting list to participate in and complete a substance abuse |
|
| | HB2882 | - 16 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | education class or attend substance
abuse self-help meetings in |
2 | | lieu of a substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a |
3 | | waiting list who is not placed in a substance abuse program |
4 | | prior to release may be eligible for a waiver and receive |
5 | | sentence credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the |
6 | | discretion of the Director.
|
7 | | (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall |
8 | | also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex |
9 | | offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender |
10 | | Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or |
11 | | she either has successfully completed or is participating in |
12 | | sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender |
13 | | Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to receive |
14 | | treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the lack |
15 | | of resources on the part of the Department, may, at the |
16 | | Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at a |
17 | | rate as the Director shall determine. |
18 | | (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate |
19 | | earlier than it
otherwise would because of a grant of sentence |
20 | | credit for good conduct under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) |
21 | | of this Section given at any time during the term, the |
22 | | Department shall give
reasonable notice of the impending |
23 | | release not less than 14 days prior to the date of the release |
24 | | to the State's
Attorney of the county where the prosecution of |
25 | | the inmate took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney |
26 | | of the county into which the inmate will be released. The |
|
| | HB2882 | - 17 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | Department must also make identification information and a |
2 | | recent photo of the inmate being released accessible on the |
3 | | Internet by means of a hyperlink labeled "Community |
4 | | Notification of Inmate Early Release" on the Department's World |
5 | | Wide Web homepage.
The identification information shall |
6 | | include the inmate's: name, any known alias, date of birth, |
7 | | physical characteristics, commitment offense and county where |
8 | | conviction was imposed. The identification information shall |
9 | | be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release |
10 | | and the information may not be removed until either: completion |
11 | | of the first year of mandatory supervised release or return of |
12 | | the inmate to custody of the Department.
|
13 | | (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
|
14 | | several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
|
15 | | shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
|
16 | | forfeiting of sentence credit.
|
17 | | (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
|
18 | | for revoking sentence credit, including revoking sentence |
19 | | credit awarded for good conduct under paragraph (3) of |
20 | | subsection (a) of this Section. The Department shall prescribe |
21 | | rules and regulations for suspending or reducing
the rate of |
22 | | accumulation of sentence credit for specific
rule violations, |
23 | | during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
shall provide |
24 | | that no inmate may be penalized more than one
year of sentence |
25 | | credit for any one infraction.
|
26 | | When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the |
|
| | HB2882 | - 18 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for
an alleged |
2 | | infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor |
3 | | against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
sentence |
4 | | credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in |
5 | | subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this
Code, if the |
6 | | amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 |
7 | | month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds |
8 | | 30 days except where the infraction is committed
or discovered |
9 | | within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases,
the |
10 | | Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence |
11 | | credit.
The Board may subsequently approve the revocation of |
12 | | additional sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke |
13 | | sentence credit in
excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall |
14 | | not be empowered to review the
Department's decision with |
15 | | respect to the loss of 30 days of sentence
credit within any |
16 | | calendar year for any prisoner or to increase any penalty
|
17 | | beyond the length requested by the Department.
|
18 | | The Director of the Department of Corrections, in |
19 | | appropriate cases, may
restore up to 30 days of sentence |
20 | | credits which have been revoked, suspended
or reduced. Any |
21 | | restoration of sentence credits in excess of 30 days shall
be |
22 | | subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the |
23 | | Board may not
restore sentence credit in excess of the amount |
24 | | requested by the Director.
|
25 | | Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the |
26 | | Prisoner Review Board
from ordering, pursuant to Section |
|
| | HB2882 | - 19 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up
to one year of the |
2 | | sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
|
3 | | accumulation of sentence credit.
|
4 | | (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or |
5 | | federal court
against the State, the Department of Corrections, |
6 | | or the Prisoner Review Board,
or against any of
their officers |
7 | | or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
|
8 | | pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is |
9 | | frivolous, the
Department of Corrections shall conduct a |
10 | | hearing to revoke up to
180 days of sentence credit by bringing |
11 | | charges against the prisoner
sought to be deprived of the |
12 | | sentence credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as provided |
13 | | in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
If the |
14 | | prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence credit at the
|
15 | | time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review Board may revoke |
16 | | all
sentence credit accumulated by the prisoner.
|
17 | | For purposes of this subsection (d):
|
18 | | (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other |
19 | | filing which
purports to be a legal document filed by a |
20 | | prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets
any or all of the |
21 | | following criteria:
|
22 | | (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in |
23 | | fact;
|
24 | | (B) it is being presented for any improper purpose, |
25 | | such as to harass or
to cause unnecessary delay or |
26 | | needless increase in the cost of litigation;
|
|
| | HB2882 | - 20 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal |
2 | | contentions therein are not
warranted by existing law |
3 | | or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
|
4 | | modification, or reversal of existing law or the |
5 | | establishment of new law;
|
6 | | (D) the allegations and other factual contentions |
7 | | do not have
evidentiary
support or, if specifically so |
8 | | identified, are not likely to have evidentiary
support |
9 | | after a reasonable opportunity for further |
10 | | investigation or discovery;
or
|
11 | | (E) the denials of factual contentions are not |
12 | | warranted on the
evidence, or if specifically so |
13 | | identified, are not reasonably based on a lack
of |
14 | | information or belief.
|
15 | | (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section
116-3 |
16 | | of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus |
17 | | action under
Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or |
18 | | under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254),
a petition for claim |
19 | | under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the
federal |
20 | | Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or |
21 | | subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under |
22 | | Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 |
23 | | whether filed with or without leave of court or a second or |
24 | | subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section |
25 | | 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
|
26 | | (e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the |
|
| | HB2882 | - 21 - | LRB100 08496 RLC 18616 b |
|
|
1 | | validity of Public Act 89-404.
|
2 | | (f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who |
3 | | has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection |
4 | | under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or |
5 | | the Criminal Code of 2012, earlier than it
otherwise would |
6 | | because of a grant of sentence credit, the Department, as a |
7 | | condition of release, shall require that the person, upon |
8 | | release, be placed under electronic surveillance as provided in |
9 | | Section 5-8A-7 of this Code. |
10 | | (g) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act |
11 | | of the 100th General Assembly apply to prisoners sentenced |
12 | | before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th |
13 | | General Assembly for their serving sentences of imprisonment on |
14 | | or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th |
15 | | General Assembly and to prisoners sentenced on or after the |
16 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General |
17 | | Assembly. Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 100th General |
18 | | Assembly shall be construed to permit the award of any |
19 | | additional sentence credit provided in this amendatory Act of |
20 | | the 100th General Assembly for any service of imprisonment |
21 | | before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th |
