(730 ILCS 5/3-2-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-2-2)
Sec. 3-2-2. Powers and Duties of the Department.
(1) In addition to the powers, duties and responsibilities
which are otherwise provided by law, the Department shall have
the following powers:
(a) To accept persons committed to it by the courts of
this State for care, custody, treatment and
rehabilitation, and to accept federal prisoners and aliens
over whom the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee is
authorized to exercise the federal detention function for
limited purposes and periods of time.

09900HB5104ham002 - 2 - LRB099 17198 RLC 47370 a
(b) To develop and maintain reception and evaluation
units for purposes of analyzing the custody and
rehabilitation needs of persons committed to it and to
assign such persons to institutions and programs under its
control or transfer them to other appropriate agencies. In
consultation with the Department of Alcoholism and
Substance Abuse (now the Department of Human Services), the
Department of Corrections shall develop a master plan for
the screening and evaluation of persons committed to its
custody who have alcohol or drug abuse problems, and for
making appropriate treatment available to such persons;
the Department shall report to the General Assembly on such
plan not later than April 1, 1987. The maintenance and
implementation of such plan shall be contingent upon the
availability of funds.
(b-1) To create and implement, on January 1, 2002, a
pilot program to establish the effectiveness of
pupillometer technology (the measurement of the pupil's
reaction to light) as an alternative to a urine test for
purposes of screening and evaluating persons committed to
its custody who have alcohol or drug problems. The pilot
program shall require the pupillometer technology to be
used in at least one Department of Corrections facility.
The Director may expand the pilot program to include an
additional facility or facilities as he or she deems
appropriate. A minimum of 4,000 tests shall be included in

09900HB5104ham002 - 3 - LRB099 17198 RLC 47370 a
the pilot program. The Department must report to the
General Assembly on the effectiveness of the program by
January 1, 2003.
(b-5) To develop, in consultation with the Department
of State Police, a program for tracking and evaluating each
inmate from commitment through release for recording his or
her gang affiliations, activities, or ranks.
(c) To maintain and administer all State correctional
institutions and facilities under its control and to
establish new ones as needed. Pursuant to its power to
establish new institutions and facilities, the Department
may, with the written approval of the Governor, authorize
the Department of Central Management Services to enter into
an agreement of the type described in subsection (d) of
Section 405-300 of the Department of Central Management
Services Law (20 ILCS 405/405-300). The Department shall
designate those institutions which shall constitute the
State Penitentiary System.
Pursuant to its power to establish new institutions and
facilities, the Department may authorize the Department of
Central Management Services to accept bids from counties
and municipalities for the construction, remodeling or
conversion of a structure to be leased to the Department of
Corrections for the purposes of its serving as a
correctional institution or facility. Such construction,
remodeling or conversion may be financed with revenue bonds

09900HB5104ham002 - 4 - LRB099 17198 RLC 47370 a
issued pursuant to the Industrial Building Revenue Bond Act
by the municipality or county. The lease specified in a bid
shall be for a term of not less than the time needed to
retire any revenue bonds used to finance the project, but
not to exceed 40 years. The lease may grant to the State
the option to purchase the structure outright.
Upon receipt of the bids, the Department may certify
one or more of the bids and shall submit any such bids to
the General Assembly for approval. Upon approval of a bid
by a constitutional majority of both houses of the General
Assembly, pursuant to joint resolution, the Department of
Central Management Services may enter into an agreement
with the county or municipality pursuant to such bid.
(c-5) To build and maintain regional juvenile
detention centers and to charge a per diem to the counties
as established by the Department to defray the costs of
housing each minor in a center. In this subsection (c-5),
"juvenile detention center" means a facility to house
minors during pendency of trial who have been transferred
from proceedings under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to
prosecutions under the criminal laws of this State in
accordance with Section 5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987, whether the transfer was by operation of law or
permissive under that Section. The Department shall
designate the counties to be served by each regional
juvenile detention center.

09900HB5104ham002 - 5 - LRB099 17198 RLC 47370 a
(d) To develop and maintain programs of control,
rehabilitation and employment of committed persons within
its institutions.

for inmates at Illinois adult correctional centers.

of committed persons in the community.
(f) To establish in cooperation with the Department of
Transportation to supply a sufficient number of prisoners
for use by the Department of Transportation to clean up the
trash and garbage along State, county, township, or
municipal highways as designated by the Department of
Transportation. The Department of Corrections, at the
request of the Department of Transportation, shall furnish
such prisoners at least annually for a period to be agreed
upon between the Director of Corrections and the Director
of Transportation. The prisoners used on this program shall
be selected by the Director of Corrections on whatever
basis he deems proper in consideration of their term,
behavior and earned eligibility to participate in such
program - where they will be outside of the prison facility
but still in the custody of the Department of Corrections.
Prisoners convicted of first degree murder, or a Class X
felony, or armed violence, or aggravated kidnapping, or
criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse
or a subsequent conviction for criminal sexual abuse, or

Habitual Criminal shall not be eligible for selection to
participate in such program. The prisoners shall remain as
prisoners in the custody of the Department of Corrections
and such Department shall furnish whatever security is
necessary. The Department of Transportation shall furnish
trucks and equipment for the highway cleanup program and
personnel to supervise and direct the program. Neither the
Department of Corrections nor the Department of
Transportation shall replace any regular employee with a
prisoner.
(g) To maintain records of persons committed to it and
to establish programs of research, statistics and
planning.
(h) To investigate the grievances of any person
committed to the Department, to inquire into any alleged
misconduct by employees or committed persons, and to
investigate the assets of committed persons to implement
Section 3-7-6 of this Code; and for these purposes it may
issue subpoenas and compel the attendance of witnesses and
the production of writings and papers, and may examine
under oath any witnesses who may appear before it; to also
investigate alleged violations of a parolee's or
releasee's conditions of parole or release; and for this
purpose it may issue subpoenas and compel the attendance of
witnesses and the production of documents only if there is

09900HB5104ham002 - 7 - LRB099 17198 RLC 47370 a
reason to believe that such procedures would provide
evidence that such violations have occurred.
If any person fails to obey a subpoena issued under
this subsection, the Director may apply to any circuit
court to secure compliance with the subpoena. The failure
to comply with the order of the court issued in response
thereto shall be punishable as contempt of court.
(i) To appoint and remove the chief administrative
officers, and administer programs of training and
development of personnel of the Department. Personnel
assigned by the Department to be responsible for the
custody and control of committed persons or to investigate
the alleged misconduct of committed persons or employees or

of parole shall be conservators of the peace for those
purposes, and shall have the full power of peace officers
outside of the facilities of the Department in the
protection, arrest, retaking and reconfining of committed
persons or where the exercise of such power is necessary to
the investigation of such misconduct or violations. This
subsection shall not apply to persons committed to the
Department of Juvenile Justice under the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987 on aftercare release.
