18     conduct credit has been made and the Department determines
19     that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be
20     revoked.
21         (4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall
22     also provide that when the court's sentencing order

26     receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of

 

 

HB1979 Engrossed - 15 - LRB095 09506 RLC 29704 b

1     this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and
2     completes a substance abuse treatment program. The
3     Director may waive the requirement to participate in or
4     complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the
5     good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner
6     is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment
7     program for medical, programming, or operational reasons.
8     Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be subject
9     to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the
10     General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
11     available and the requirement to participate and complete
12     the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the
13     prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
14     established by the Department. The Director may allow a
15     prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
16     complete a substance abuse education class or attend
17     substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance
18     abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who
19     is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release
20     may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct
21     credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
22     discretion of the Director.
23         (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
24     earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of good
25     conduct credit for meritorious service given at any time
26     during the term, the Department shall give reasonable

 

 

HB1979 Engrossed - 16 - LRB095 09506 RLC 29704 b

1     advance notice of the impending release to the State's
2     Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate
3     took place.
4     (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
5 several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
6 shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
7 forfeiting of good time.
8     (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
9 for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing the
10 rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific rule
11 violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
12 shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
13 year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.
14     When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
15 rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for an alleged
16 infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges therefor
17 against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of good conduct
18 credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided in
19 subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
20 amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
21 month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
22 30 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
23 within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
24 Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good
