(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

09700SB2621sam001 - 2 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
over whom the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee is
authorized to exercise the federal detention function for
limited purposes and periods of time.
(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.

09700SB2621sam001 - 3 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
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
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

09700SB2621sam001 - 4 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Corrections for the purposes of its serving as a
correctional institution or facility. Such construction,
remodeling or conversion may be financed with revenue bonds
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

09700SB2621sam001 - 5 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
permissive under that Section. The Department shall
designate the counties to be served by each regional
juvenile detention center.
(d) To develop and maintain programs of control,
rehabilitation and employment of committed persons within
its institutions.
(d-5) To provide a pre-release job preparation program
for inmates at Illinois adult correctional centers.

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

09700SB2621sam001 - 6 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
felony, or armed violence, or aggravated kidnapping, or
criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse
or a subsequent conviction for criminal sexual abuse, or
forcible detention, or arson, or a prisoner adjudged a
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

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

09700SB2621sam001 - 7 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
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
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

of parole shall be conservators of the peace for those

persons or where the exercise of such power is necessary to
the investigation of such misconduct or violations.

top leaders identified by the Department for each gang
during the past year, and the measures taken by the
Department to segregate each leader from his or her gang
and allied gangs. The Department shall further report the
current status of leaders identified and segregated in
previous years. All leaders described in the report shall
be identified by inmate number or other designation to
enable tracking, auditing, and verification without
revealing the names of the leaders. Because this report
contains law enforcement intelligence information
collected by the Department, the report is confidential and
not subject to public disclosure.
(m) To make all rules and regulations and exercise all
powers and duties vested by law in the Department.
(n) To establish rules and regulations for

Sec. 3-3-9. Violations; changes of conditions; preliminary
hearing; revocation of parole or mandatory supervised release;
revocation hearing.
(a) If prior to expiration or termination of the term of
parole or mandatory supervised release, a person violates a
condition set by the Prisoner Review Board or a condition of
parole or mandatory supervised release under Section 3-3-7 of
this Code to govern that term, the Board may:
(1) continue the existing term, with or without
modifying or enlarging the conditions; or
(2) parole or release the person to a half-way house;
or
(3) revoke the parole or mandatory supervised release
and reconfine the person for a term computed in the
following manner:
(i) (A) For those sentenced under the law in effect
prior to this amendatory Act of 1977, the recommitment
shall be for any portion of the imposed maximum term of
imprisonment or confinement which had not been served
at the time of parole and the parole term, less the
time elapsed between the parole of the person and the
commission of the violation for which parole was
revoked;
(B) Except as set forth in paragraph (C), for those
subject to mandatory supervised release under

09700SB2621sam001 - 25 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
paragraph (d) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code, the
recommitment shall be for the total mandatory
supervised release term, less the time elapsed between
the release of the person and the commission of the
violation for which mandatory supervised release is
revoked. The Board may also order that a prisoner serve
up to one year of the sentence imposed by the court
which was not served due to the accumulation of
sentencing good conduct credit;
(C) For those subject to sex offender supervision
under clause (d)(4) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code, the
reconfinement period for violations of clauses (a)(3)
through (b-1)(15) of Section 3-3-7 shall not exceed 2
years from the date of reconfinement.
(ii) the person shall be given credit against the
term of reimprisonment or reconfinement for time spent
in custody since he was paroled or released which has
not been credited against another sentence or period of
confinement;
(iii) persons committed under the Juvenile Court
Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 may be continued
under the existing term of parole with or without
modifying the conditions of parole, paroled or
released to a group home or other residential facility,
or recommitted until the age of 21 unless sooner

09700SB2621sam001 - 26 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
(iv) this Section is subject to the release under
supervision and the reparole and rerelease provisions
of Section 3-3-10.
(b) The Board may revoke parole or mandatory supervised
release for violation of a condition for the duration of the
term and for any further period which is reasonably necessary
for the adjudication of matters arising before its expiration.
The issuance of a warrant of arrest for an alleged violation of
the conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release shall
toll the running of the term until the final determination of
the charge. When parole or mandatory supervised release is not
revoked that period shall be credited to the term, unless a
community-based sanction is imposed as an alternative to
revocation and reincarceration, including a diversion
established by the Illinois Department of Corrections Parole
Services Unit prior to the holding of a preliminary parole
revocation hearing. Parolees who are diverted to a
community-based sanction shall serve the entire term of parole
or mandatory supervised release, if otherwise appropriate.
(b-5) The Board shall revoke parole or mandatory supervised
release for violation of the conditions prescribed in paragraph
(7.6) of subsection (a) of Section 3-3-7.
(c) A person charged with violating a condition of parole
or mandatory supervised release shall have a preliminary
hearing before a hearing officer designated by the Board to
determine if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation

09700SB2621sam001 - 27 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
hearing. However, no preliminary hearing need be held when
revocation is based upon new criminal charges and a court finds
probable cause on the new criminal charges or when the
revocation is based upon a new criminal conviction and a
certified copy of that conviction is available.
(d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
the violation of parole or mandatory supervised release charged
against him.
(e) A hearing on revocation shall be conducted before at
least one member of the Prisoner Review Board. The Board may
meet and order its actions in panels of 3 or more members. The
action of a majority of the panel shall be the action of the
Board. In consideration of persons committed to the Department
of Juvenile Justice, the member hearing the matter and at least
a majority of the panel shall be experienced in juvenile
matters. A record of the hearing shall be made. At the hearing
the offender shall be permitted to:
(1) appear and answer the charge; and
(2) bring witnesses on his behalf.
(f) The Board shall either revoke parole or mandatory
supervised release or order the person's term continued with or
without modification or enlargement of the conditions.
(g) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
revoked for failure to make payments under the conditions of
parole or release unless the Board determines that such failure

09700SB2621sam001 - 28 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
is due to the offender's willful refusal to pay.

fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly for
these purposes. If treatment is not available and the
requirement to participate and complete the treatment has
not been waived by the Director, the prisoner shall be
placed on a waiting list under criteria established by the
Department. The Director may allow a prisoner placed on a
waiting list to participate in and complete a substance
abuse education class or attend substance abuse self-help
meetings in lieu of a substance abuse treatment program. A
prisoner on a waiting list who is not placed in a substance
abuse program prior to release may be eligible for a waiver
and receive sentencing good conduct credit under clause (3)

09700SB2621sam001 - 44 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
of this subsection (a) at the discretion of the Director.
(4.6) The rules and regulations on sentencing credit
early release shall also provide that a prisoner who has
been convicted of a sex offense as defined in Section 2 of
the Sex Offender Registration Act shall receive no
sentencing good conduct credit unless he or she either has
successfully completed or is participating in sex offender
treatment as defined by the Sex Offender Management Board.
However, prisoners who are waiting to receive such
treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the
lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at
the Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentencing good
conduct credit at a such rate as the Director shall
determine.
(5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of
sentencing good conduct credit for good conduct under
paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this Section meritorious
service given at any time during the term, the Department
shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not
less than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the
State's Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the
inmate took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney
of the county into which the inmate will be released. The
Department must also make identification information and a
recent photo of the inmate being released accessible on the

09700SB2621sam001 - 45 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Internet by means of a hyperlink labeled "Community
Notification of Inmate Early Release" on the Department's
World Wide Web homepage. The identification information
shall include the inmate's: name, any known alias, date of
birth, physical characteristics, residence address,
commitment offense and county where conviction was
imposed. The identification information shall be placed on
the website within 3 days of the inmate's release and the
information may not be removed until either: completion of
the first year of mandatory supervised release or return of
the inmate to custody of the Department.
(b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
forfeiting of sentencing credit good time.
(c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
for revoking sentencing good conduct credit, including
revoking sentencing credit awarded for good conduct under
paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this Section. The Department
shall prescribe rules and regulations for or suspending or
reducing the rate of accumulation of sentencing good conduct
credit for specific rule violations, during imprisonment.
These rules and regulations shall provide that no inmate may be
penalized more than one year of sentencing good conduct credit
for any one infraction.
When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the

09700SB2621sam001 - 46 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
rate of accumulation of any sentencing good conduct credits for
an alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
sentencing good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as provided in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of
this Code, if the amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds 30 days except where the infraction is
committed or discovered within 60 days of scheduled release. In
those cases, the Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30
days of sentencing good conduct credit. The Board may
subsequently approve the revocation of additional sentencing
good conduct credit, if the Department seeks to revoke
sentencing good conduct credit in excess of 30 days. However,
the Board shall not be empowered to review the Department's
decision with respect to the loss of 30 days of sentencing good
conduct credit within any calendar year for any prisoner or to
increase any penalty beyond the length requested by the
Department.
The Director of the Department of Corrections, in
appropriate cases, may restore up to 30 days of sentencing good
conduct credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced.
Any restoration of sentencing good conduct credits in excess of
30 days shall be subject to review by the Prisoner Review
Board. However, the Board may not restore sentencing good
conduct credit in excess of the amount requested by the

09700SB2621sam001 - 47 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Director.
Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
accumulation of sentencing good conduct credit.
(d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
federal court against the State, the Department of Corrections,
or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of their officers
or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is
frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a
hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentencing good conduct
credit by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be
deprived of the sentencing good conduct credits before the
Prisoner Review Board as provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of
Section 3-3-2 of this Code. If the prisoner has not accumulated
180 days of sentencing good conduct credit at the time of the
finding, then the Prisoner Review Board may revoke all
sentencing good conduct credit accumulated by the prisoner.
For purposes of this subsection (d):
(1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other
filing which purports to be a legal document filed by a
prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the
following criteria:
(A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in

09700SB2621sam001 - 48 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
fact;
(B) it is being presented for any improper purpose,
such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or
needless increase in the cost of litigation;
(C) the claims, defenses, and other legal
contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
modification, or reversal of existing law or the
establishment of new law;
(D) the allegations and other factual contentions
do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support
after a reasonable opportunity for further
investigation or discovery; or
(E) the denials of factual contentions are not
warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
information or belief.
(2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus
action under Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or
under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254), a petition for claim
under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the federal
Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or
subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under
Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963

09700SB2621sam001 - 49 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
whether filed with or without leave of court or a second or
subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section
2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the
validity of Public Act 89-404.
(f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who
has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection
under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of
sentencing good conduct credit, the Department, as a condition
of such early release, shall require that the person, upon
release, be placed under electronic surveillance as provided in
Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

Sec. 3-6-3.5. Medical supervision discharge.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
contrary, a person committed to the Department for a term or
terms of imprisonment other than life without the possibility
of parole, and who has served at least 15 years of the term or

09700SB2621sam001 - 50 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
terms imposed in actual custody of the Department shall be
eligible for accelerated release on medical supervision upon
reaching the age of 55 years or more if:
(1) One or more of the following medical conditions
apply:
(A) the person suffers from a medical condition
that renders the offender incapable of performing the
activities of basic daily living;
(B) the person is by reason of an existing physical
or medical condition so permanently and irreversibly
physically or mentally incapacitated that the person
is unlikely to be a danger to himself or herself, the
victim of the crime for which the sentence was imposed,
or to society;
(C) the person is terminally ill and expected to
live for a period of less than two years, and by reason
of the illness, is unlikely to be a danger to himself
or herself, the victim of the crime for which the
sentence was imposed, or to society; and
(2) The person has not received any disciplinary
infraction for a period of 36 months preceding the petition
for accelerated release on medical supervision under this
Section.
(b) Accelerated release on medical supervision may only be
granted by the Prisoner Review Board. The Department shall
identify committed persons who may be eligible for medical

09700SB2621sam001 - 51 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
supervision based upon available medical information and file a
petition for accelerated release on medical supervision with
the Board. In considering a committed person for medical
supervision, the Board may require that additional medical
evidence be produced, or additional medical examinations be
conducted by the medical staff of the Department or a medical
provider under contract with the Department.
(c) The petition for medical supervision shall be granted
if the Prisoner Review Board determines that the committed
person meets the conditions in subsection (a) of this Section
and that under the conditions of release the person would not
reasonably pose a threat to public safety.
(d) The supervision term of a person released on medical
supervision shall be for the remainder of the person's
sentence, without diminution of the sentence for good behavior.
(e) The Prisoner Review Board in setting conditions of
release on medical supervision:
(1) shall require as a condition of medical supervision
that the person agree to placement in an environment
approved by the Department, including but not limited to a
hospital, nursing home, hospice facility, or prerelease
center, to intensive supervision, to some other
appropriate community corrections facility or program, or
to a family home;
(2) may require as a condition of medical supervision
that the person agree to periodic examinations at the

09700SB2621sam001 - 52 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
person's expense; and
(3) may impose any other condition of release
consistent with the medical condition of the person and the
public safety.
(f) Reports of any periodic medical examination and any
resulting diagnoses must be submitted to the Board and
Department by the examining physician.
(g) The Prisoner Review Board may revoke the medical
supervision and return a person to the custody of the
Department, if the Board or Department determines that the
medical condition of the person on medical supervision has
improved to the extent that the person no longer requires
extensive medical attention or is likely to pose a detriment to
himself or herself, the victim of the crime for which the
sentence was imposed, or society. A person whose medical
supervision is revoked due to an improvement in his or her
medical condition shall resume serving the balance of his or
her sentence with available sentencing credit given for the
duration of the medical supervision. If the person's medical
supervision is revoked due to an improvement in his or her
condition, and he or she would otherwise be eligible for
mandatory supervised release, he or she shall be transferred to
mandatory supervised release with conditions imposed by the
Prisoner Review Board under Section 3-3-7 of this Code. Medical
supervision may also be revoked for violation of any condition
of release imposed by the Prisoner Review Board.

09700SB2621sam001 - 53 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
(h) A person charged with violating a condition of medical
supervision, improved medical condition, or public safety
threat shall have a preliminary hearing before a hearing
officer designated by the Board to determine if there is cause
to hold the person for a revocation hearing. However, no
preliminary hearing need be held when revocation is based upon
new criminal charges and a court finds probable cause on the
new criminal charges or when the revocation is based upon a new
criminal conviction and a certified copy of that conviction is
available.
(i) Medical supervision release shall not be revoked
without written notice to the offender setting forth the
violation of medical supervision release charged against him or
her.
(j) A hearing on revocation shall be conducted before at
least one member of the Prisoner Review Board. The Board may
meet and order its actions in panels of 3 or more members. The
action of a majority of the panel shall be the action of the
Board. A record of the hearing shall be made. At the hearing
the offender shall be permitted to:
(1) appear and answer the charge; and
(2) bring witnesses on his or her behalf.
(k) The Board shall either revoke medical supervision
release or order the person's term continued with or without
modification or enlargement of the conditions.
(l) The Prisoner Review Board and the Department may

09700SB2621sam001 - 54 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
promulgate rules and regulations as necessary to implement this
Section, including rules and regulations relative to the
conduct of medical supervision hearings and the conditions of
medical supervision.
(m) A grant or denial of medical supervision does not
affect an inmate's eligibility for mandatory supervised
release.
(n) Twenty-five percent of the per capita cost savings to
the Department achieved by implementation of medical
supervision shall be transferred to the Crime Victim's
Compensation Fund. Savings shall be calculated by the
Sentencing Policy Advisory Council by use of the following
formula:
(1) As used in this subsection:
"Daily per capita cost" means the per capita costs
for the Fiscal Year in question divided by the number
of days in that year.
"Days served" means a calendar day, or part
thereof, during which an inmate was incarcerated.
"Per capita cost" means the average per capita cost
reported by the Department of Corrections in its annual
report for the Fiscal Year during which the inmates in
question were incarcerated.
(2) Cost savings shall be calculated by the Sentencing
Policy Advisory Council based on the reduction in the total
number of days served by inmates due to the impact of the

09700SB2621sam001 - 55 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
medical supervision program. Per capita cost savings shall
be calculated as the total reduction in the number of days
served multiplied by the daily per capita cost.
(730 ILCS 5/3-7-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-7-6)
Sec. 3-7-6. Reimbursement for expenses.
(a) Responsibility of committed persons. For the purposes
of this Section, "committed persons" mean those persons who
through judicial determination have been placed in the custody
of the Department on the basis of a conviction as an adult.
Committed persons shall be responsible to reimburse the
Department for the expenses incurred by their incarceration at
a rate to be determined by the Department in accordance with
this Section.
(1) Committed persons shall fully cooperate with the
Department by providing complete financial information for
the purposes under this Section.
(2) The failure of a committed person to fully
cooperate as provided for in clauses (3) and (4) of
subsection (a-5) shall be considered for purposes of a
parole determination. Any committed person who willfully
refuses to cooperate with the obligations set forth in this
Section may be subject to the loss of sentencing good
conduct credit towards his or her sentence of up to 180
days.
(a-5) Assets information form.

09700SB2621sam001 - 56 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
(1) The Department shall develop a form, which shall be
used by the Department to obtain information from all
committed persons regarding assets of the persons.
(2) In order to enable the Department to determine the
financial status of the committed person, the form shall
provide for obtaining the age and marital status of a
committed person, the number and ages of children of the
person, the number and ages of other dependents, the type
and value of real estate, the type and value of personal
property, cash and bank accounts, the location of any lock
boxes, the type and value of investments, pensions and
annuities and any other personalty of significant cash
value, including but not limited to jewelry, art work and
collectables, and all medical or dental insurance policies
covering the committed person. The form may also provide
for other information deemed pertinent by the Department in
the investigation of a committed person's assets.
(3) Upon being developed, the form shall be submitted
to each committed person as of the date the form is
developed and to every committed person who thereafter is
sentenced to imprisonment under the jurisdiction of the
Department. The form may be resubmitted to a committed
person by the Department for purpose of obtaining current
information regarding the assets of the person.
(4) Every committed person shall complete the form or
provide for completion of the form and the committed person

09700SB2621sam001 - 57 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
shall swear under oath or affirm that to the best of his or
her knowledge the information provided is complete and
accurate.
(b) Expenses. The rate at which sums to be charged for the
expenses incurred by a committed person for his or her
confinement shall be computed by the Department as the average
per capita cost per day for all inmates of that institution or
facility for that fiscal year. The average per capita cost per
day shall be computed by the Department based on the average
per capita cost per day for the operation of that institution
or facility for the fiscal year immediately preceding the
period of incarceration for which the rate is being calculated.
The Department shall establish rules and regulations providing
for the computation of the above costs, and shall determine the
average per capita cost per day for each of its institutions or
facilities for each fiscal year. The Department shall have the
power to modify its rules and regulations, so as to provide for
the most accurate and most current average per capita cost per
day computation. Where the committed person is placed in a
facility outside the Department, the Department may pay the
actual cost of services in that facility, and may collect
reimbursement for the entire amount paid from the committed
person receiving those services.
(c) Records. The records of the Department, including, but
not limited to, those relating to: the average per capita cost
per day for a particular institution or facility for a

09700SB2621sam001 - 58 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
particular year, and the calculation of the average per capita
cost per day; the average daily population of a particular
Department correctional institution or facility for a
particular year; the specific placement of a particular
committed person in various Department correctional
institutions or facilities for various periods of time; and the
record of transactions of a particular committed person's trust
account under Section 3-4-3 of this Act; may be proved in any
legal proceeding, by a reproduced copy thereof or by a computer
printout of Department records, under the certificate of the
Director. If reproduced copies are used, the Director must
certify that those are true and exact copies of the records on
file with the Department. If computer printouts of records of
the Department are offered as proof, the Director must certify
that those computer printouts are true and exact
representations of records properly entered into standard
electronic computing equipment, in the regular course of the
Department's business, at or reasonably near the time of the
occurrence of the facts recorded, from trustworthy and reliable
information. The reproduced copy or computer printout shall,
without further proof, be admitted into evidence in any legal
proceeding, and shall be prima facie correct and prima facie
evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.
(d) Authority. The Director, or the Director's designee,
may, when he or she knows or reasonably believes that a
committed person, or the estate of that person, has assets

09700SB2621sam001 - 59 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
which may be used to satisfy all or part of a judgment rendered
under this Act, or when he or she knows or reasonably believes
that a committed person is engaged in gang-related activity and
has a substantial sum of money or other assets, provide for the
forwarding to the Attorney General of a report on the committed
person and that report shall contain a completed form under
subsection (a-5) together with all other information available
concerning the assets of the committed person and an estimate
of the total expenses for that committed person, and authorize
the Attorney General to institute proceedings to require the
persons, or the estates of the persons, to reimburse the
Department for the expenses incurred by their incarceration.
The Attorney General, upon authorization of the Director, or
the Director's designee, shall institute actions on behalf of
the Department and pursue claims on the Department's behalf in
probate and bankruptcy proceedings, to recover from committed
persons the expenses incurred by their confinement. For
purposes of this subsection (d), "gang-related" activity has
the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
(e) Scope and limitations.
(1) No action under this Section shall be initiated
more than 2 years after the release or death of the
committed person in question.
(2) The death of a convicted person, by execution or
otherwise, while committed to a Department correctional

09700SB2621sam001 - 60 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
institution or facility shall not act as a bar to any
action or proceeding under this Section.
(3) The assets of a committed person, for the purposes
of this Section, shall include any property, tangible or
intangible, real or personal, belonging to or due to a
committed or formerly committed person including income or
payments to the person from social security, worker's
compensation, veteran's compensation, pension benefits, or
from any other source whatsoever and any and all assets and
property of whatever character held in the name of the
person, held for the benefit of the person, or payable or
otherwise deliverable to the person. Any trust, or portion
of a trust, of which a convicted person is a beneficiary,
shall be construed as an asset of the person, to the extent
that benefits thereunder are required to be paid to the
person, or shall in fact be paid to the person. At the time
of a legal proceeding by the Attorney General under this
Section, if it appears that the committed person has any
assets which ought to be subjected to the claim of the
Department under this Section, the court may issue an order
requiring any person, corporation, or other legal entity
possessed or having custody of those assets to appropriate
any of the assets or a portion thereof toward reimbursing
the Department as provided for under this Section. No
provision of this Section shall be construed in violation
of any State or federal limitation on the collection of

09700SB2621sam001 - 61 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
money judgments.
(4) Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
Department from applying federal benefits that are
specifically provided for the care and treatment of a
committed person toward the cost of care provided by a
State facility or private agency.

Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing Hearing.
(a) Except when the death penalty is sought under hearing
procedures otherwise specified, after a determination of
guilt, a hearing shall be held to impose the sentence. However,
prior to the imposition of sentence on an individual being
sentenced for an offense based upon a charge for a violation of
Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, the individual must undergo a
professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other
drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a problem.
Programs conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is not
a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
individual's residence. The court may in its sentencing order
approve an eligible defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections impact incarceration program as provided in

09700SB2621sam001 - 62 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3. The court may in its sentencing
order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
(1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
trial;
(2) consider any presentence reports;
(3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
based on the financial impact statement filed with the
clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
(4) consider evidence and information offered by the
parties in aggravation and mitigation;
(4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
assessment services for the Illinois courts;
(5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
(6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
statement in his own behalf;
(7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a violation
of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, or a qualified
individual affected by: (i) a violation of Section 405,
405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances

09700SB2621sam001 - 63 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Act or a violation of Section 55 or Section 65 of the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
(ii) a Class 4 felony violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3
except as described in subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and
(a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18, 11-18.1, or 11-19 of the
Criminal Code of 1961, committed by the defendant the
opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on
the victim and to offer evidence in aggravation or
mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence
offered in aggravation or mitigation must first be prepared
in writing in conjunction with the State's Attorney before
it may be presented orally at the hearing. Any sworn
testimony offered by the victim is subject to the
defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements and
evidence offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part
of the record of the court. For the purpose of this
paragraph (7), "qualified individual" means any person who
(i) lived or worked within the territorial jurisdiction
where the offense took place when the offense took place;
and (ii) is familiar with various public places within the
territorial jurisdiction where the offense took place when
the offense took place. For the purposes of this paragraph
(7), "qualified individual" includes any peace officer, or
any member of any duly organized State, county, or
municipal peace unit assigned to the territorial
jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense

09700SB2621sam001 - 64 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
took place;
(8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
members an opportunity to make oral statements;
(9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and
(10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was used
in the commission of the offense for which the defendant is
being sentenced.
(b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer sitting
as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not impose
sentence at the same time on all defendants who are convicted
as a result of being involved in the same offense, the
defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the sentencing
court of the disposition of any other defendants who have been
sentenced.
(c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any

(c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of

the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,

"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in

case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
sentencing good conduct credit, the period of estimated actual
custody is ... years and ... months, less up to 180 days

an additional one-half day sentencing good conduct credit for
each day of participation in vocational, industry, substance

additional sentencing good conduct credit for good conduct
meritorious service. If the defendant, because of his or her
own misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional

09700SB2621sam001 - 68 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time

09700SB2621sam001 - 70 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is not entitled to sentencing good conduct
credit. Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
sentence."
When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
substance abuse program for any offense that results in
incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the

conduct credit under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section
3-6-3 until he or she participates in and completes a substance
abuse treatment program or receives a waiver from the Director
of Corrections pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of
Section 3-6-3."
(c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the

09700SB2621sam001 - 71 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently
serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
States. If the defendant is currently serving in the Armed
Forces of the United States or is a veteran of the Armed Forces
of the United States and has been diagnosed as having a mental
illness by a qualified psychiatrist or clinical psychologist or
physician, the court may:
(1) order that the officer preparing the presentence
report consult with the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs, Illinois Department of Veterans'
Affairs, or another agency or person with suitable
knowledge or experience for the purpose of providing the
court with information regarding treatment options
available to the defendant, including federal, State, and
local programming; and
(2) consider the treatment recommendations of any
diagnosing or treating mental health professionals
together with the treatment options available to the
defendant in imposing sentence.
For the purposes of this subsection (c-4), "qualified
psychiatrist" means a reputable physician licensed in Illinois
to practice medicine in all its branches, who has specialized
in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and nervous disorders
for a period of not less than 5 years.
(c-6) In imposing a sentence, the trial judge shall

09700SB2621sam001 - 72 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a

Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the
defendant may file a statement with the clerk of the court to
be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to
which the defendant is committed to furnish such department,
agency or institution with the facts and circumstances of the

other factual information accessible to them in regard to the
person prior to his commitment relative to his habits,
associates, disposition and reputation and any other facts and
circumstances which may aid such department, agency or
institution during its custody of such person. The clerk shall
within 10 days after receiving any such statements transmit a
copy to such department, agency or institution and a copy to
the other party, provided, however, that this shall not be
cause for delay in conveying the person to the department,
agency or institution to which he has been committed.
(e) The clerk of the court shall transmit to the
department, agency or institution, if any, to which the
defendant is committed, the following:
(1) the sentence imposed;
(2) any statement by the court of the basis for
imposing the sentence;

09700SB2621sam001 - 73 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a

(2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the
victim's counseling services, to the extent that the court
finds, after considering the defendant's income and
assets, that the defendant is financially capable of paying
for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age
at the time the offense was committed and requires
counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation

members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
impose a term of imprisonment.

Sec. 5-8-1.4. Compliance Credit Pilot Program.
(a) There is created a Compliance Credit Pilot Program
beginning on January 1, 2013. The purpose of the program is to
incentivize compliant behavior by inmates convicted of certain
non-violent offenses sentenced to imprisonment in the
Department for the first time, and to facilitate successful
re-entry into society with enhanced community supervision
following release.
(b) If the court finds that an offender sentenced to a term
of imprisonment for a covered offense meets the eligibility
criteria of this Section, the court may, in its sentencing
order, approve the offender for participation in the Compliance
Credit Pilot Program.
(c) Covered offenses are:
(1) Class 4 felony possession of a controlled
substance.

09700SB2621sam001 - 111 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a

(3) Class 4 felony prostitution.
(d) To be eligible for the Compliance Credit Pilot Program
the offender must be convicted of a covered offense and:

Department;
(2) does not have a prior conviction for which the
offender was sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the
Department, another state or federal adult correctional
facility;
(3) does not have a prior conviction for a covered
offense that resulted in a sentence of imprisonment; and
(4) if the offender has a prior felony conviction for
theft or retail theft, then he or she must have received a
disposition other than a sentence of imprisonment and the
court makes a written determination that the previous
conviction for theft or retail theft was substance abuse
related.
(e) An offender approved for the Compliance Credit Pilot
Program by the court shall participate for the following term:
(1) if sentenced to one year but less than 18 months of
imprisonment, a term of 60 days;
(2) if sentenced to 18 months but less than 2 years of
imprisonment, a term of 75 days; or
(3) if sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment, a term of
90 days.

09700SB2621sam001 - 112 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
(f) An offender who completes the Compliance Credit Pilot
Program term without discipline being imposed for a violation
of a Department or facility rule or regulation, shall be
released after completion of the required term to serve one
year of mandatory supervised release under paragraph (3) of
subsection (d) of Section 5-8-1 of this Code. The offender
shall be subject to the following conditions of release on
mandatory supervised release, in addition to any other

(g) An offender shall be terminated from the Compliance
Credit Pilot Program if discipline is imposed for a violation
of a Department or facility rule or regulation during the
program term. The sentence of an offender terminated from the
program shall not be reduced by the number of days the offender
participated in the program. The number of days the terminated
offender served in the program shall be deducted from the

09700SB2621sam001 - 113 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
offender's unserved sentencing credit.
(h) The Department shall report to the Governor and the
General Assembly by December 31, 2013 and by December 31 of
each calendar year thereafter until January 1, 2016, on the
Compliance Credit Pilot Program. The report shall include, but
not be limited to, the following:
(1) the number of offenders sentenced to the program,
by county;
(2) the recidivism rate of offenders who participated

re-incarcerated for technical parole violations and those
arrested for new offenses;
(3) the number of offenders that successfully
completed the program; and
(4) the number of offenders terminated from the
program.
(i) For each inmate released under the Compliance Credit
Pilot Program, prior to the initial release date assigned to
the inmate upon entry to the Department, 50% of the marginal
cost saved by the Department from the earlier release date
shall be transferred to Department programming that is
available to earn sentencing credit, facilitate successful
re-entry into society by inmates, reduce recidivism of released
inmates, and diversion of low-risk offenders from
incarceration in the Department. When more than 250 inmates
have been released under the Compliance Credit Pilot Program,

09700SB2621sam001 - 114 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
50% of the per capita costs saved less the marginal cost
savings redirected to programming shall be transferred to the
Adult Redeploy Illinois program up to a maximum of $10 million
in the next Fiscal Year. Savings shall be calculated by the
Sentencing Policy Advisory Council by use of the following
formula:
(1) As used in this subsection:
"Daily per capita cost" means the per capita costs
for the Fiscal Year in question divided by the number
of days in that year.
"Daily marginal cost" means the marginal cost for
the Fiscal Year in question divided by the number of
days in that year.
"Days served" means a calendar day, or part
thereof, during which an inmate was incarcerated.
"Marginal cost" means the average marginal cost
per inmate reported by the Department of Corrections in
its annual report for the Fiscal Year during which the
inmates in question were incarcerated.
"Per capita cost" means the average per capita cost
reported by the Department of Corrections in its annual
report for the Fiscal Year during which the inmates in
question were incarcerated.
(2) Cost savings shall be calculated by the Sentencing
Policy Advisory Council based on the reduction in the total
number of days served by inmates due to the Compliance

09700SB2621sam001 - 115 - LRB097 16232 MRW 68299 a
Credit Pilot Program. Marginal cost savings shall be
calculated as the total reduction in the number of days
served multiplied by the daily marginal cost. Per capita
cost savings shall be calculated as the total reduction in
the number of days served multiplied by the daily per
capita cost.
(j) This Section is repealed on January 1, 2016.
