Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 3-16-5.

Multi-year pilot program for selected paroled youth
released from institutions of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

(a) The Department of Juvenile Justice may establish in Cook County, DuPage
County, Lake County, Will County,
and Kane County a 6 year pilot program for selected youthful offenders
released to parole by the Department of Juvenile Justice.

(b) A person who is being released to parole from the Department of Juvenile Justice
						
under subsection (e) of Section 3-3-3 whom the
Department of Juvenile Justice deems a serious or at risk delinquent youth who is likely to
have
difficulty re-adjusting to the community, who has had either significant
clinical problems or a history of criminal activity related to sex offenses,
drugs, weapons, or gangs, and who is returning to
Cook County, Will County, Lake County, DuPage County, or Kane County may be
screened for eligibility to participate in the pilot
program.

(c) If the Department of Juvenile Justice establishes a pilot program under this
Section,
the Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide
supervision and structured services to persons selected to participate in the
program to: (i)
ensure that they receive high levels of supervision and case managed,
structured services; (ii) prepare them for re-integration into the community;
(iii) effectively monitor their compliance with parole requirements and
programming;
and (iv) minimize the likelihood that they will commit additional offenses.

(d) Based upon the needs of a participant, the Department of Juvenile Justice may provide any or
all of the following to a participant:

(1) Risk and needs assessment;

(2) Comprehensive case management;

(3) Placement in licensed secured community

facilities as a transitional measure;

(4) Transition to residential programming;

(5) Targeted intensive outpatient treatment services;

(6) Structured day and evening reporting programs and

behavioral day treatment;

(7) Family counseling;

(8) Transitional programs to independent living;

(9) Alternative placements;

(10) Substance abuse treatment.

(e) A needs assessment case plan and parole supervision profile may be
completed by the Department of Juvenile Justice before the selected eligible
person's release from institutional custody to parole supervision.
The needs assessment case plan and parole supervision profile shall include
identification of placement
requirements, intensity of parole supervision, and assessments of
educational, psychological, vocational, medical, and substance abuse treatment
needs.  Following the completion by the Department of Juvenile Justice of the
parole supervision profile and needs assessment case plan, a comprehensive
parole case management plan
shall be developed for each committed youth eligible and selected for admission
to the pilot program.  The comprehensive parole case management plan shall be
submitted for approval by the
Department of Juvenile Justice and for presentation to the Prisoner Review Board.

(f) The Department of Juvenile Justice may identify in a comprehensive parole case management
plan any special conditions for
parole supervision and establish sanctions for a participant who
fails to comply with the program requirements or who violates parole rules.
These sanctions may include the return of a participant to a secure community
placement or recommendations for parole revocation to the Prisoner
Review Board.  Paroled youth may be held for investigation in secure community
facilities or on warrant
pending revocation in local detention or jail facilities based on age.

(g) The Department of Juvenile Justice may select and contract with a community-based network
and work in partnership with private providers to provide the services
specified in
subsection (d).

in the 3 years following the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1997, first implement the pilot program in Cook County
and then implement the pilot program in DuPage County, Lake County, Will
County, and Kane County in accordance with a schedule to be developed by the
Department of Juvenile Justice.

(i) If the Department of Juvenile Justice establishes a pilot program under this Section,
the Department of Juvenile Justice shall establish a 3 year follow-up evaluation and outcome
assessment for all participants in the pilot program.

(j) If the Department of Juvenile Justice establishes a pilot program under this Section,
the Department of Juvenile Justice shall publish an outcome study covering a 3 year
follow-up period for participants in the pilot program.
