| 7 | | completes a substance abuse treatment program. The | 8 | | Director may waive the requirement to participate in or | 9 | | complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the | 10 | | sentence credit in specific instances if the prisoner is | 11 | | not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment | 12 | | program for medical, programming, or operational reasons. | 13 | | Availability of
substance abuse treatment shall be subject | 14 | | to the limits of fiscal resources
appropriated by the | 15 | | General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
| 16 | | available and the requirement to participate and complete | 17 | | the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the | 18 | | prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
| 19 | | established by the Department. The Director may allow a | 20 | | prisoner placed on
a waiting list to participate in and | 21 | | complete a substance abuse education class or attend | 22 | | substance
abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance | 23 | | abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who | 24 | | is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release | 25 | | may be eligible for a waiver and receive sentence credit | 26 | | under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the discretion |
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 17 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | of the Director.
| 2 | | (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit | 3 | | shall also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted | 4 | | of a sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex | 5 | | Offender Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit | 6 | | unless he or she either has successfully completed or is | 7 | | participating in sex offender treatment as defined by the | 8 | | Sex Offender Management Board. However, prisoners who are | 9 | | waiting to receive treatment, but who are unable to do so | 10 | | due solely to the lack of resources on the part of the | 11 | | Department, may, at the Director's sole discretion, be | 12 | | awarded sentence credit at a rate as the Director shall | 13 | | determine. | 14 | | (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate | 15 | | earlier than it
otherwise would because of a grant of | 16 | | sentence credit for good conduct under paragraph (3) of | 17 | | subsection (a) of this Section given at any time during the | 18 | | term, the Department shall give
reasonable notice of the | 19 | | impending release not less than 14 days prior to the date | 20 | | of the release to the State's
Attorney of the county where | 21 | | the prosecution of the inmate took place, and if | 22 | | applicable, the State's Attorney of the county into which | 23 | | the inmate will be released. The Department must also make | 24 | | identification information and a recent photo of the inmate | 25 | | being released accessible on the Internet by means of a | 26 | | hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate Early |
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 18 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage.
The | 2 | | identification information shall include the inmate's: | 3 | | name, any known alias, date of birth, physical | 4 | | characteristics, residence address, commitment offense and | 5 | | county where conviction was imposed. The identification | 6 | | information shall be placed on the website within 3 days of | 7 | | the inmate's release and the information may not be removed | 8 | | until either: completion of the first year of mandatory | 9 | | supervised release or return of the inmate to custody of | 10 | | the Department.
| 11 | | (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
| 12 | | several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
| 13 | | shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
| 14 | | forfeiting of sentence credit.
| 15 | | (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
| 16 | | for revoking sentence credit, including revoking sentence | 17 | | credit awarded for good conduct under paragraph (3) of | 18 | | subsection (a) of this Section. The Department shall prescribe | 19 | | rules and regulations for suspending or reducing
the rate of | 20 | | accumulation of sentence credit for specific
rule violations, | 21 | | during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
shall provide | 22 | | that no inmate may be penalized more than one
year of sentence | 23 | | credit for any one infraction.
| 24 | | When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the | 25 | | rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for
an alleged | 26 | | infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor |
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 19 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
sentence | 2 | | credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in | 3 | | subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this
Code, if the | 4 | | amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 | 5 | | month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds | 6 | | 30 days except where the infraction is committed
or discovered | 7 | | within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases,
the | 8 | | Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence | 9 | | credit.
The Board may subsequently approve the revocation of | 10 | | additional sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke | 11 | | sentence credit in
excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall | 12 | | not be empowered to review the
Department's decision with | 13 | | respect to the loss of 30 days of sentence
credit within any | 14 | | calendar year for any prisoner or to increase any penalty
| 15 | | beyond the length requested by the Department.
| 16 | | The Director of the Department of Corrections, in | 17 | | appropriate cases, may
restore up to 30 days of sentence | 18 | | credits which have been revoked, suspended
or reduced. Any | 19 | | restoration of sentence credits in excess of 30 days shall
be | 20 | | subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the | 21 | | Board may not
restore sentence credit in excess of the amount | 22 | | requested by the Director.
| 23 | | Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the | 24 | | Prisoner Review Board
from ordering, pursuant to Section | 25 | | 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up
to one year of the | 26 | | sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
|
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 20 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | accumulation of sentence credit.
| 2 | | (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or | 3 | | federal court
against the State, the Department of Corrections, | 4 | | or the Prisoner Review Board,
or against any of
their officers | 5 | | or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
| 6 | | pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is | 7 | | frivolous, the
Department of Corrections shall conduct a | 8 | | hearing to revoke up to
180 days of sentence credit by bringing | 9 | | charges against the prisoner
sought to be deprived of the | 10 | | sentence credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as provided | 11 | | in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
If the | 12 | | prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence credit at the
| 13 | | time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review Board may revoke | 14 | | all
sentence credit accumulated by the prisoner.
| 15 | | For purposes of this subsection (d):
| 16 | | (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other | 17 | | filing which
purports to be a legal document filed by a | 18 | | prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets
any or all of the | 19 | | following criteria:
| 20 | | (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in | 21 | | fact;
| 22 | | (B) it is being presented for any improper purpose, | 23 | | such as to harass or
to cause unnecessary delay or | 24 | | needless increase in the cost of litigation;
| 25 | | (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal | 26 | | contentions therein are not
warranted by existing law |
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 21 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
| 2 | | modification, or reversal of existing law or the | 3 | | establishment of new law;
| 4 | | (D) the allegations and other factual contentions | 5 | | do not have
evidentiary
support or, if specifically so | 6 | | identified, are not likely to have evidentiary
support | 7 | | after a reasonable opportunity for further | 8 | | investigation or discovery;
or
| 9 | | (E) the denials of factual contentions are not | 10 | | warranted on the
evidence, or if specifically so | 11 | | identified, are not reasonably based on a lack
of | 12 | | information or belief.
| 13 | | (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section
116-3 | 14 | | of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus | 15 | | action under
Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or | 16 | | under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254),
a petition for claim | 17 | | under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the
federal | 18 | | Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or | 19 | | subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under | 20 | | Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 | 21 | | whether filed with or without leave of court or a second or | 22 | | subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section | 23 | | 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
| 24 | | (e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the | 25 | | validity of Public Act 89-404.
| 26 | | (f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who |
| | | HB3884 Enrolled | - 22 - | LRB099 04141 RLC 24161 b |
|
| 1 | | has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection | 2 | | under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or | 3 | | the Criminal Code of 2012, earlier than it
otherwise would | 4 | | because of a grant of sentence credit, the Department, as a | 5 | | condition of release, shall require that the person, upon | 6 | | release, be placed under electronic surveillance as provided in | 7 | | Section 5-8A-7 of this Code. | 8 | | (Source: P.A. 97-333, eff. 8-12-11; 97-697, eff. 6-22-12; | 9 | | 97-990, eff. 1-1-13; 97-1150, eff. 1-25-13; 98-718, eff. | 10 | | 1-1-15 .)
