(735 ILCS 5/10-128) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-128)
Sec. 10-128.
Person discharged again imprisoned.
No person who has
been discharged by order of the court
on a habeas corpus, shall be again imprisoned, restrained or kept
in custody for the same cause, unless he or she is afterwards indicted for the
same offense, nor unless by the legal order or process of the court
wherein he or she is bound by recognizance to appear. The following shall not
be deemed to be the same cause:
1. If, after a discharge for a defect of proof, or any material
defect in the commitment, in a criminal case, the prisoner is
again arrested on sufficient proof, and committed by legal process for
the same offense.
2. If, in a civil action, the party has been discharged for any
illegality in the judgment or process, and is afterwards imprisoned by
legal process for the same cause of action.
3. Generally, whenever the discharge is ordered on account of
the non-observance of any of the forms required by law, the party may be
a second time imprisoned if the cause is legal and the forms required by
law observed.
