28 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
29 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
30 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
31 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
32 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
33 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
34 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
HB0140 Engrossed -26- LRB9000499RCks

2 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
3 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
4 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
5 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
6 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
7 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
8 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
9 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
10 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
11 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
12 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

30 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
31 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
32 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
33 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
34 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and

28 sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
29 for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
30 provided under Section 3-6-6.
