| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 3-3-9. Violations; changes of conditions; preliminary
| |||||||||||||||||||
8 | hearing; revocation of parole or mandatory supervised release;
| |||||||||||||||||||
9 | revocation hearing. | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | (a) If prior to expiration or termination of the term of
| |||||||||||||||||||
11 | parole or mandatory supervised release, a person violates a
| |||||||||||||||||||
12 | condition set by the Prisoner Review Board or a condition of | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | parole or
mandatory supervised release under Section 3-3-7 of | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | this Code to govern that
term,
the Board may:
| |||||||||||||||||||
15 | (1) continue the existing term, with or without | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | modifying or
enlarging the conditions; or
| |||||||||||||||||||
17 | (2) parole or release the person to a half-way house; | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | or
| |||||||||||||||||||
19 | (3) revoke the parole or mandatory supervised release | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | and
reconfine the person for a term computed in the | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | following
manner:
| |||||||||||||||||||
22 | (i) (A) For those sentenced under the law in effect | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | prior to
this amendatory Act of 1977, the recommitment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be for any
portion of the imposed maximum term of | ||||||
2 | imprisonment or confinement
which had not been served | ||||||
3 | at the time of parole and the parole
term, less the | ||||||
4 | time elapsed between the parole of the person and
the | ||||||
5 | commission of the violation for which parole was | ||||||
6 | revoked;
| ||||||
7 | (B) Except as set forth in paragraph (C), for
those | ||||||
8 | subject to mandatory supervised release under
| ||||||
9 | paragraph (d) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code, the | ||||||
10 | recommitment
shall be for the total mandatory | ||||||
11 | supervised release term, less
the time elapsed between | ||||||
12 | the release of the person and the
commission of the | ||||||
13 | violation for which mandatory supervised
release is | ||||||
14 | revoked. The Board may also order that a prisoner
serve | ||||||
15 | up to one year of the sentence imposed by the court | ||||||
16 | which
was not served due to the accumulation of | ||||||
17 | sentence credit;
| ||||||
18 | (C) For those subject to sex offender supervision | ||||||
19 | under clause (d)(4) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code, the | ||||||
20 | reconfinement period for violations of clauses (a)(3) | ||||||
21 | through (b-1)(15) of Section 3-3-7 shall not exceed 2 | ||||||
22 | years from the date of reconfinement;
| ||||||
23 |
(ii) the person shall be given credit against | ||||||
24 | the term of
reimprisonment or reconfinement for | ||||||
25 | time spent in custody
since he or she was paroled | ||||||
26 | or released which has not been credited
against |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | another sentence or period of confinement;
| ||||||
2 |
(iii) (blank);
| ||||||
3 |
(iv) this Section is subject to the release | ||||||
4 | under
supervision and the reparole and rerelease | ||||||
5 | provisions of Section
3-3-10.
| ||||||
6 | (b) The Board may revoke parole or mandatory supervised
| ||||||
7 | release for violation of a condition for the duration of the
| ||||||
8 | term and for any further period which is reasonably necessary
| ||||||
9 | for the adjudication of matters arising before its expiration.
| ||||||
10 | The issuance of a warrant of arrest for an alleged violation
of | ||||||
11 | the conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release
shall | ||||||
12 | toll the running of the term until the final determination of | ||||||
13 | the
charge. When
parole or mandatory supervised release is not | ||||||
14 | revoked
that period shall be credited to the term, unless a | ||||||
15 | community-based sanction is imposed as an alternative to | ||||||
16 | revocation and reincarceration, including a diversion | ||||||
17 | established by the Illinois Department of Corrections Parole | ||||||
18 | Services Unit prior to the holding of a preliminary parole | ||||||
19 | revocation hearing. Parolees who are diverted to a | ||||||
20 | community-based sanction shall serve the entire term of parole | ||||||
21 | or mandatory supervised release, if otherwise appropriate.
| ||||||
22 | (b-5) The Board shall revoke parole or mandatory supervised | ||||||
23 | release for violation of the conditions prescribed in paragraph | ||||||
24 | (7.6) of subsection (a) of Section 3-3-7. | ||||||
25 | (c) A person charged with violating a condition of parole | ||||||
26 | or
mandatory supervised release shall have a preliminary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearing
before a hearing officer designated by the Board to | ||||||
2 | determine
if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation | ||||||
3 | hearing.
However, no preliminary hearing need be held when | ||||||
4 | revocation is based
upon new criminal charges and a court finds | ||||||
5 | probable cause on the new
criminal charges or when the | ||||||
6 | revocation
is based upon a new criminal conviction and a | ||||||
7 | certified copy of
that conviction is available.
| ||||||
8 | (d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
| ||||||
9 | revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
| ||||||
10 | the violation of parole or mandatory supervised release charged
| ||||||
11 | against him or her.
| ||||||
12 | (e) A hearing on revocation shall be conducted before at
| ||||||
13 | least one member of the Prisoner Review Board. The Board may
| ||||||
14 | meet and order its actions in panels of 3 or more members.
The | ||||||
15 | action of a majority of the panel shall be the action of
the | ||||||
16 | Board. A record
of the hearing shall be made. At the hearing | ||||||
17 | the offender shall
be permitted to:
| ||||||
18 | (1) appear and answer the charge; and
| ||||||
19 | (2) bring witnesses on his or her behalf.
| ||||||
20 | (f) The Board shall either revoke parole or mandatory
| ||||||
21 | supervised release or order the person's term continued with
or | ||||||
22 | without modification or enlargement of the conditions.
| ||||||
23 | (g) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
| ||||||
24 | revoked for failure to make payments under the conditions of
| ||||||
25 | parole or release unless the Board determines that such failure | ||||||
26 | is
due to the offender's willful refusal to pay.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (h) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be | ||||||
2 | automatically revoked or the person automatically recommitted | ||||||
3 | if the violation of the terms of parole or mandatory supervised | ||||||
4 | release is based upon a new criminal charge that is a | ||||||
5 | misdemeanor. | ||||||
