AN ACT concerning corrections.
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 Sections 3-2-2, 3-3-1, 3-3-2, 3-3-9, 3-6-3, 3-7-6,
5-4-1, 5-4.5-20, 5-4.5-25, 5-4.5-30, 5-4.5-35, 5-4.5-40,
5-4.5-45, 5-4.5-55, 5-4.5-60, 5-4.5-65, 5-4.5-100, and 5-5-3
as follows:
(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.
(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

SB2621 Engrossed - 2 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 3 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 4 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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.
(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

SB2621 Engrossed - 5 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
for inmates at Illinois adult correctional centers.
(e) To establish a system of supervision and guidance
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 6 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 7 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
alleged violations of a parolee's or releasee's conditions
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.

specifying each current gang's name, population and allied
gangs. The Department shall further specify the number of
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
administering a system of sentence good conduct credits,
established in accordance with Section 3-6-3, subject to

administration of this Code and the Illinois Public Aid
Code.
(q) To establish a diversion program.
The program shall provide a structured environment for
selected technical parole or mandatory supervised release

dependents; and
(C) make appropriate payments toward any other
court-ordered obligations.

respect to each streetgang active within the correctional
system: (1) each active gang; (2) every existing inter-gang

each gang. The Department shall promptly segregate leaders
from inmates who belong to their gangs and allied gangs.
"Segregate" means no physical contact and, to the extent

SB2621 Engrossed - 11 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b

directing, ordering, authorizing, or requesting
commission of criminal acts by others, which are
punishable as a felony, in furtherance of streetgang
related activity both within and outside of the

meanings ascribed to them in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

in order to manage and supervise inmates who are disruptive
or dangerous and provide for the safety and security of the

gang and any other person without the need to show cause or
satisfy any other requirement of law before beginning the
monitoring, except as constitutionally required. The
monitoring may be by video, voice, or other method of
recording or by any other means. As used in this
subdivision (1)(t), "organized gang" has the meaning
ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

or any person duly designated by the Director, with the
seal of the Department affixed. The order shall be directed
to all sheriffs, coroners, and police officers, or to any

SB2621 Engrossed - 13 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
particular person named in the order. Any order issued

correctional officials and shall be executed the same as

the production of documentary evidence, may be required from
any place in the State to a hearing location in the State
before the Chairman of the Board or his designated agent or
agents or any duly constituted Committee or Subcommittee of the
Board. Witnesses so summoned shall be paid the same fees and

payment when the witness is discharged from further attendance.
In case of disobedience to a subpoena, the Board may
petition any circuit court of the State for an order requiring
the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of
documentary evidence or both. A copy of such petition shall be
served by personal service or by registered or certified mail
upon the person who has failed to obey the subpoena, and such
person shall be advised in writing that a hearing upon the
petition will be requested in a court room to be designated in
such notice before the judge hearing motions or extraordinary
remedies at a specified time, on a specified date, not less
than 10 nor more than 15 days after the deposit of the copy of
the written notice and petition in the U.S. mails addressed to
the person at his last known address or after the personal
service of the copy of the notice and petition upon such
person. The court upon the filing of such a petition, may order
the person refusing to obey the subpoena to appear at an
investigation or hearing, or to there produce documentary
evidence, if so ordered, or to give evidence relative to the
subject matter of that investigation or hearing. Any failure to
obey such order of the circuit court may be punished by that
court as a contempt of court.
Each member of the Board and any hearing officer designated

SB2621 Engrossed - 23 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
by the Board shall have the power to administer oaths and to
take the testimony of persons under oath.

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

SB2621 Engrossed - 24 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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
sentence 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.

SB2621 Engrossed - 25 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
(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
terminated;
(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

SB2621 Engrossed - 26 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 27 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
is due to the offender's willful refusal to pay.

Eligible inmates for an award of sentence credit under this

Consideration may be based on, but not limited to, any

Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, facts and circumstances of the

SB2621 Engrossed - 37 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
rehabilitation.
The Director shall not award sentence good conduct credit
for meritorious service under this paragraph (3) to an inmate
unless the inmate has served a minimum of 60 days of the
sentence; except nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to permit the Director to extend an inmate's sentence beyond
that which was imposed by the court. Prior to awarding credit
under this paragraph (3), the Director shall make a written
determination that the inmate:
(A) is eligible for the sentence good conduct
credit for meritorious service;
(B) has served a minimum of 60 days, or as close to
60 days as the sentence will allow; and
(C) has met the eligibility criteria established
by rule.
The Director shall determine the form and content of
the written determination required in this subsection.
(3.5) The Department shall provide annual written
reports to the Governor and the General Assembly on the
award of sentence credit for good conduct, with the first
report due January 1, 2014. The Department must publish
both reports on its website within 48 hours of transmitting
the reports to the Governor and the General Assembly. The

(A) the number of inmates awarded sentence credit
for good conduct;

SB2621 Engrossed - 38 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
(B) the average amount of sentence credit for good
conduct awarded;
(C) the holding offenses of inmates awarded
sentence credit for good conduct; and
(D) the number of sentence credit for good conduct
revocations.
(4) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
the sentence good conduct credit accumulated and retained
under paragraph (2.1) of subsection (a) of this Section by
any inmate during specific periods of time in which such
inmate is engaged full-time in substance abuse programs,
correctional industry assignments, or educational
programs, behavior modification programs, life skills
courses, or re-entry planning provided by the Department
under this paragraph (4) and satisfactorily completes the
assigned program as determined by the standards of the
Department, shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 for
program participation before August 11, 1993 and 1.50 for
program participation on or after that date. The rules and
regulations shall also provide that sentence credit,
subject to the same offense limits and multiplier provided
in this paragraph, may be provided to an inmate who was
held in pre-trial detention prior to his or her current
commitment to the Department of Corrections and
successfully completed a full-time, 60-day or longer
substance abuse program, educational program, behavior

SB2621 Engrossed - 39 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
modification program, life skills course, or re-entry
planning provided by the county department of corrections
or county jail. Calculation of this county program credit
shall be done at sentencing as provided in Section
5-4.5-100 of this Code and shall be included in the
sentencing order. However, no inmate shall be eligible for
the additional sentence good conduct credit under this
paragraph (4) or (4.1) of this subsection (a) while
assigned to a boot camp or electronic detention, or if
convicted of an offense enumerated in subdivision
(a)(2)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section that is committed
on or after June 19, 1998 or subdivision (a)(2)(iv) of this
Section that is committed on or after June 23, 2005 (the
effective date of Public Act 94-71) or subdivision
(a)(2)(v) of this Section that is committed on or after
August 13, 2007 (the effective date of Public Act 95-134)
or subdivision (a)(2)(vi) when the offense is committed on
or after June 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act
95-625) or subdivision (a)(2)(vii) when the offense is
committed on or after July 23, 2010 (the effective date of
Public Act 96-1224), or if convicted of aggravated driving
under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or
intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
thereof as defined in subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of
subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or if convicted of aggravated driving under the

SB2621 Engrossed - 40 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating
compound or compounds or any combination thereof as defined
in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of
Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed on or
after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
96-1230), or if convicted of an offense enumerated in
paragraph (a)(2.4) of this Section that is committed on or
after July 15, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
91-121), or first degree murder, a Class X felony, criminal
sexual assault, felony criminal sexual abuse, aggravated
criminal sexual abuse, aggravated battery with a firearm as
described in Section 12-4.2 or subdivision (e)(1), (e)(2),
(e)(3), or (e)(4) of Section 12-3.05, or any predecessor or
successor offenses with the same or substantially the same
elements, or any inchoate offenses relating to the
foregoing offenses. No inmate shall be eligible for the
additional good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) who
(i) has previously received increased good conduct credit
under this paragraph (4) and has subsequently been
convicted of a felony, or (ii) has previously served more
than one prior sentence of imprisonment for a felony in an
adult correctional facility.
Educational, vocational, substance abuse, behavior
modification programs, life skills courses, re-entry
planning, and correctional industry programs under which
sentence good conduct credit may be increased under this

SB2621 Engrossed - 41 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
paragraph (4) and paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a)
shall be evaluated by the Department on the basis of
documented standards. The Department shall report the
results of these evaluations to the Governor and the
General Assembly by September 30th of each year. The
reports shall include data relating to the recidivism rate
among program participants.
Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are
denied immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting
list under criteria established by the Department. The
inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such
programs by reason of insufficient program resources or for
any other reason established under the rules and
regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause
of action under which the Department or any employee or
agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the
inmate.
(4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
an additional 60 days of sentence good conduct credit shall
be awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level
Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the
prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections
incarcerated. The sentence good conduct credit awarded
under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and

SB2621 Engrossed - 42 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
shall not affect, the award of sentence credit good conduct
under any other paragraph of this Section, but shall also
be pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in
paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section. The
sentence good conduct credit provided for in this paragraph
shall be available only to those prisoners who have not
previously earned a high school diploma or a GED. If, after
an award of the GED sentence good conduct credit has been
made and the Department determines that the prisoner was
not eligible, then the award shall be revoked. The
Department may also award 60 days of sentence credit to any
committed person who passed the high school level Test of
General Educational Development (GED) while he or she was
held in pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment
to the Department of Corrections.
(4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit
early release shall also provide that when the court's
sentencing order recommends a prisoner for substance abuse
treatment and the crime was committed on or after September
1, 2003 (the effective date of Public Act 93-354), the
prisoner shall receive no sentence good conduct credit
awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless he
or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement
to participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment
program and award the sentence good conduct credit in

SB2621 Engrossed - 43 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
specific instances if the prisoner is not a good candidate
for a substance abuse treatment program for medical,
programming, or operational reasons. Availability of
substance abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of
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 sentence good conduct credit under clause (3)
of this subsection (a) at the discretion of the Director.
(4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence 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 sentence
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 44 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at
the Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence 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
sentence 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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 45 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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 sentence credit good time.
(c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
for revoking sentence good conduct credit, including revoking
sentence 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 sentence 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 sentence good conduct credit for any one infraction.
When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
rate of accumulation of any sentence good conduct credits for
an alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
sentence 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 sentence good conduct credit. The Board may

SB2621 Engrossed - 46 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
subsequently approve the revocation of additional sentence
good conduct credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence
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 sentence 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 sentence good
conduct credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced.
Any restoration of sentence good conduct credits in excess of
30 days shall be subject to review by the Prisoner Review
Board. However, the Board may not restore sentence good conduct
credit in excess of the amount requested by the 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 sentence 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 sentence good conduct

SB2621 Engrossed - 47 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
credit by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be
deprived of the sentence 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 sentence good conduct credit at the time of the
finding, then the Prisoner Review Board may revoke all sentence
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
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 48 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
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
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 sentence
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. 3-7-6. 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 sentence good conduct

SB2621 Engrossed - 50 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
credit towards his or her sentence of up to 180 days.
(a-5) Assets information form.
(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.

SB2621 Engrossed - 51 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
(4) Every committed person shall complete the form or
provide for completion of the form and the committed person
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 52 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
not limited to, those relating to: the average per capita cost
per day for a particular institution or facility for 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,

SB2621 Engrossed - 53 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
may, when he or she knows or reasonably believes that a
committed person, or the estate of that person, has assets
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.

SB2621 Engrossed - 54 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
(2) The death of a convicted person, by execution or
otherwise, while committed to a Department correctional
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 55 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
provision of this Section shall be construed in violation
of any State or federal limitation on the collection of
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.

(730 ILCS 5/5-4-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-4-1)
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 56 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
approve an eligible defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections impact incarceration program as provided in
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 57 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
individual affected by: (i) a violation of Section 405,
405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 58 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
municipal peace unit assigned to the territorial
jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
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

SB2621 Engrossed - 59 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury to
someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall specify
on the record the particular evidence, information, factors in
mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that led to his
sentencing determination. The full verbatim record of the
sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the court
and shall be a public record.
(c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or category
II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to whether
the conduct leading to conviction for the offense resulted in
great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that finding and
the basis for that finding in the record.
(c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of
death is imposed, at the time the sentence is imposed the judge
shall state on the record in open court the approximate period
of time the defendant will serve in custody according to the
then current statutory rules and regulations for sentence
credit early release found in Section 3-6-3 and other related
provisions of this Code. This statement is intended solely to
inform the public, has no legal effect on the defendant's

SB2621 Engrossed - 60 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
actual release, and may not be relied on by the defendant on
appeal.
The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,
shall include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
sentence good conduct credit, the period of estimated actual
custody is ... years and ... months, less up to 180 days
additional sentence 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
regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also receive
an additional one-half day sentence good conduct credit for
each day of participation in vocational, industry, substance
abuse, and educational programs as provided for by Illinois
statute."

intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof
as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subsection
(d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed on
or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act

the sentence, shall include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of

homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense was committed on or after
January 1, 1999, and when the sentence is imposed for
aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug
or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
combination thereof as defined in subparagraph (F) of paragraph
(1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated arson if
the offense was committed on or after July 27, 2001 (the
effective date of Public Act 92-176), and when the sentence is
imposed for aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol,

Illinois Vehicle Code committed on or after January 1, 2011
(the effective date of Public Act 96-1230), the judge's
statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
sentence good conduct credit for each month of his or her
sentence of imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve
at least 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant
receives 4 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her
sentence, the period of estimated actual custody is ... years
and ... months. If the defendant, because of his or her own
misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
regulations receives lesser credit, the actual time served in
prison will be longer."
When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first degree
murder and the offense was committed on or after June 19, 1998,
the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, shall include the following:

the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in

SB2621 Engrossed - 64 - LRB097 16232 RLC 61385 b
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
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 sentence 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
crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the

prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant shall receive no sentence credit for good
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

defendant, the court shall determine whether the defendant is
employed by a facility or center as defined under the Child
Care Act of 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary
school, or otherwise works with children under 18 years of age
on a daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation to
the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the employer of
the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court shall direct
the mailing of a copy of the judgment of conviction or order of

of a felony and who has not been previously convicted of a
misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to a term of
imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections shall as
a condition of his or her sentence be required by the court to
attend educational courses designed to prepare the defendant
for a high school diploma and to work toward a high school
diploma or to work toward passing the high school level Test of

term of incarceration, the Prisoner Review Board shall, as a
condition of mandatory supervised release, require the
defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a course of
study toward a high school diploma or passage of the GED test.
The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under
this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high
school diploma or has successfully passed the GED test. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who is
determined by the court to be developmentally disabled or
otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational or
vocational program.
