(4) The rules and regulations shall also provide
that the 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 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. However, no
inmate shall be eligible for the additional good conduct
credit under this paragraph (4) while assigned to a boot
camp, mental health unit, or electronic detention, or if
convicted of an offense enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of
this Section that is committed on or after June 19, 1998
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998, or if
convicted of reckless homicide as defined in subsection
(e) of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the
offense is committed on or after January 1, 1999, or if

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 and
correctional industry programs under which good conduct
credit may be increased under this paragraph (4) 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.
(5) Whenever the Department is to release any
inmate earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant
of good conduct credit for meritorious service given at
any time during the term, the Department shall give
reasonable advance notice of the impending release to the
State's Attorney of the county where the prosecution of
the inmate took place.
(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 good time.
(c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing
the rate of accumulation of 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 good conduct credit for any one
infraction.
When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for an
alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
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 good conduct credit. The Board may subsequently
approve the revocation of additional good conduct credit, if
the Department seeks to revoke 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 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 good conduct
credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced. Any
restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days
shall be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board.
However, the Board may not restore 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 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 good conduct
credit by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be
deprived of the 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 good conduct credit at the time of the finding, then
the Prisoner Review Board may revoke all 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 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 petition for post-conviction
relief under Article 122 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963, a motion pursuant to Section 116-3 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus

under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254), a petition for claim
under the Court of Claims Act or an action under the
federal Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983).
(e) Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1998 affects the
validity of Public Act 89-404. and other than the offense of
reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 committed on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998, (2.3) The
rules and regulations on early release shall provide that a
prisoner who is serving sentence for reckless homicide as
defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code
of 1961 committed on or after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1998 shall receive no more than 4.5 days of
good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of
