14    necessary  to  increase the punishment for the offense beyond
15    the  statutory  maximum  otherwise  applicable,  either   the

 8                  that the court may deem appropriate; and
 9             (2)  the  court  orders the defendant to pay for the
10        victim's counseling services,  to  the  extent  that  the
11        court finds, after considering the defendant's income and
12        assets,  that  the  defendant  is  financially capable of
13        paying for such services, if  the  victim  was  under  18
14        years  of  age  at the time the offense was committed and
15        requires counseling as a result of the offense.
16        Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to  Section
17    5-6-4;  except where the court determines at the hearing that

16    by  his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
17    Prisoner Review Board shall,  as  a  condition  of  mandatory
18    supervised  release, require the defendant, at his or her own

23    (j-5) upon his or her release from  confinement  in  a  penal

25    term; however, the inability of the defendant after making  a
26    good  faith  effort  to  obtain  financial aid or pay for the
27    educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure  to
28    comply.    The  Prisoner  Review  Board  shall  recommit  the
29    defendant whose mandatory supervised release  term  has  been
30    revoked  under  this  subsection (j-5) as provided in Section

11        after sentencing the defendant may, upon  motion  of  the
12        State's  Attorney,  hold  sentence in abeyance and remand
13        the defendant to the custody of the Attorney  General  of
14        the  United  States  or his or her designated agent to be
15        deported when:

17             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
18             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
19                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
20             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
21             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
22             justice.
23             Otherwise,  the  defendant  shall  be  sentenced  as
24        provided in this Chapter V.
25             (B)  If the defendant has already been sentenced for
26        a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has  been  placed  on
27        probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
28        Section  410  of  the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
29        the court may, upon motion of  the  State's  Attorney  to
30        suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
31        custody  of  the Attorney General of the United States or
32        his or her designated agent when:
33                  (1)  a final  order  of  deportation  has  been
34             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings

 4             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
 5             justice.
 6             (C)  This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
 7        who are subject to the provisions  of  paragraph  (2)  of
 8        subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
 9             (D)  Upon  motion  of  the  State's  Attorney,  if a
10        defendant sentenced under this  Section  returns  to  the
11        jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
12        recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or

14        brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
15        sentence that was available under Section  5-5-3  at  the
16        time  of  initial sentencing.  In addition, the defendant
17        shall not be eligible for additional good conduct  credit
