AN ACT to amend the County Jail Good Behavior Allowance
Act by changing Section 3.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The County Jail Good Behavior Allowance Act
is amended by changing Section 3 as follows:
(730 ILCS 130/3) (from Ch. 75, par. 32)
Sec. 3. The good behavior of any person who commences a
sentence of confinement in a county jail for a fixed term of
imprisonment after January 1, 1987 shall entitle such person
to a good behavior allowance, except that: (1) a person who
inflicted physical harm upon another person in committing the
offense for which he is confined shall receive no good
behavior allowance; and (2) a person sentenced for an offense
for which the law provides a mandatory minimum sentence shall
not receive any portion of a good behavior allowance that
would reduce the sentence below the mandatory minimum; and
(3) a person sentenced to a county impact incarceration
program; and (4) a person who is convicted of criminal sexual
assault under paragraph (a)(3) of Section 12-13 of the
Criminal Code of 1961, criminal sexual abuse, or aggravated
criminal sexual abuse shall receive no good behavior
allowance. The good behavior allowance provided for in this
Section shall not apply to individuals sentenced for a felony
to probation or conditional discharge where a condition of
such probation or conditional discharge is that the
individual serve a sentence of periodic imprisonment or to
individuals sentenced under an order of court for civil
contempt.
Such good behavior allowance shall be cumulative and
awarded as provided in this Section.
The good behavior allowance rate shall be cumulative and
awarded on the following basis:
The prisoner shall receive one day of good behavior
allowance for each day of service of sentence in the county
jail, and one day of good behavior allowance for each day of
incarceration in the county jail before sentencing for the
offense that he or she is currently serving sentence but was
unable to post bail before sentencing, except that a prisoner
serving a sentence of periodic imprisonment under Section
5-7-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections shall only be
eligible to receive good behavior allowance if authorized by
the sentencing judge. Each day of good behavior allowance
shall reduce by one day the prisoner's period of
incarceration set by the court. For the purpose of
calculating a prisoner's good behavior allowance, a
fractional part of a day shall not be calculated as a day of
service of sentence in the county jail unless the fractional
part of the day is over 12 hours in which case a whole day
shall be credited on the good behavior allowance.
If consecutive sentences are served and the time served
amounts to a total of one year or more, the good behavior
allowance shall be calculated on a continuous basis
throughout the entire time served beginning on the first date
of sentence or incarceration, as the case may be.
