ARTICLE 8B. INDETERMINATE SENTENCES FOR CERTAIN SEX OFFENSES

(730 ILCS 5/5-8B-5 new)

Sec. 5-8B-5. Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that sex offenders pose a significant threat to public safety, are unique in their psychological makeup, and are particularly likely to continue to be dangerous after their release from imprisonment. The General Assembly also finds that sex offenders inflict long-standing psychological harm on their victims and significantly undermine victim and community safety to a greater extent than most other criminal offenses. Based on these findings, the General Assembly believes sex offenders need long-term supervision and treatment beyond that provided other offenders. The General Assembly further believes this type of supervision and treatment is best provided in a secure correctional facility and public safety warrants the use of State resources for this purpose. The General Assembly's purpose in enacting this legislation is to provide courts and corrections and treatment professionals with the tools necessary to protect public safety through use of longer, more flexible sentences than currently provided by law. The General Assembly intends that a sex offender's past and future dangerousness be considered both in sentencing and release decisions.
