| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by | ||||
changing Section 3-13-4 as follows:
| ||||
(730 ILCS 5/3-13-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-13-4)
| ||||
Sec. 3-13-4. Rules and Sanctions.) | ||||
(a) The Department shall
establish rules governing release | ||||
status and shall provide written
copies of such rules to both | ||||
the committed person on work or day release
and to the employer | ||||
or other person responsible for the individual.
Such employer | ||||
or other responsible person shall agree to abide by such
| ||||
rules, notify the Department of any violation thereof by the | ||||
individual
on release status, and notify the Department of the | ||||
discharge of the
person from work or other programs.
| ||||
(b) If a committed person violates any rule, the | ||||
Department may
impose sanctions appropriate to the violation. | ||||
The Department shall
provide sanctions for unauthorized | ||||
absences which shall include
prosecution for escape under | ||||
Section 3-6-4.
| ||||
(c) An order certified by the Director, Assistant | ||||
Director, or the Supervisor of the Apprehension Unit, or a | ||||
person
duly designated by him or her, with the seal of the |
Department of Corrections
attached and directed to all | ||
sheriffs, coroners, police officers, or to
any particular | ||
persons named in the order shall be sufficient
warrant for the | ||
officer or person named therein to arrest and deliver
the | ||
violator to the proper correctional official. Such order shall | ||
be
executed the same as criminal processes.
| ||
In the event that a work-releasee is arrested for another | ||
crime, the
sheriff or police officer shall hold the releasee | ||
in custody until he
notifies the nearest Office of Field | ||
Services or any of the above-named
persons designated in this | ||
Section to certify the particular process or
warrant.
| ||
(d) Not less than 3 15 days prior to any person being | ||
placed in a work release
facility, the Department of | ||
Corrections shall provide to the State's Attorney
and Sheriff | ||
of the county in which the work release center is located, | ||
relevant
identifying information concerning the person to be | ||
placed in the work release
facility. Such information shall | ||
include, but not be limited to, such identifying
information | ||
as name, age, physical description, photograph, the offense,
| ||
and the sentence for which the person is serving time in the | ||
Department
of Corrections, and like information. The | ||
Department of Corrections shall,
in addition, give written | ||
notice not less than 3 15 days prior to the
placement to the | ||
State's Attorney of the county from which the offender
was | ||
originally sentenced. The notification requirements of this | ||
subsection (d) may be electronic notification for individuals |
required to be housed outside the penitentiary system pursuant | ||
to subsection (a) of Section 5-8-6. | ||
(e) For those individuals required to be housed outside | ||
the penitentiary system as outlined in subsection (a) of | ||
Section 5-8-6, the Department as soon as reasonably | ||
practicable shall provide the State's Attorney and Sheriff of | ||
the county in which the work release center is located, | ||
relevant identifying information concerning the person to be | ||
placed in the work release facility. Such information shall | ||
include, but is not limited to, such identifying information | ||
as name, age, physical description, photograph, the offense, | ||
and the sentence for which the person is serving time in the | ||
custody of the Department of Corrections, and similar | ||
