20 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
21 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
22 Immigration and Nationality Act, and

28 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
29 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
30 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
31 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review

34 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
-26- LRB9000499RCks
1 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
2 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
3 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
4 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
5 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
6 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
7 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
8 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

25 designated agent to be deported when:
26 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
27 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
28 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
29 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
30 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
31 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
32 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided
33 in this Chapter V.
34 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a

25 for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
