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.

(735 ILCS 5/10-136) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-136)

Sec. 10-136. Prisoner remanded or punished.

After a prisoner has given
his or her testimony, or been
surrendered, or his or her pretrial release discharged, or he or she has been tried
for the crime with which he or she is charged, he or she shall be returned
to the jail or other place of confinement from which he or she was taken
for that purpose.
If such prisoner is convicted of a crime punishable with death
or imprisonment in the penitentiary, he or she may be punished accordingly; but
in any case where the prisoner has been taken from the
penitentiary, and his or her punishment is by imprisonment, the time of such
imprisonment shall not commence to run until the expiration of the time
of service under any former sentence.
