10limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly
11for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied immediate
12admission shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
13established by the Department. The inability of any inmate to
14become engaged in any such programs by reason of insufficient
15program resources or for any other reason established under the

19inmate.
20    (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that an
21additional 90 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any
22prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing while the

HB3496- 15 -LRB100 10515 RLC 20730 b

1pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in
2paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section. The sentence
3credit provided for in this paragraph shall be available only
4to those prisoners who have not previously earned a high school
5diploma or a high school equivalency certificate. If, after an
6award of the high school equivalency testing sentence credit
7has been made, the Department determines that the prisoner was
8not eligible, then the award shall be revoked. The Department
9may also award 90 days of sentence credit to any committed
10person who passed high school equivalency testing while he or
11she was held in pre-trial detention prior to the current
12commitment to the Department of Corrections.
13    (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall

15a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was
16committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
17Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
18credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
19he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
20treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to
21participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program
22and award the sentence credit in specific instances if the
23prisoner is not a good candidate for a substance abuse
24treatment program for medical, programming, or operational
25reasons. Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be
26subject to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the

 

 

HB3496- 16 -LRB100 10515 RLC 20730 b

1General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
2available and the requirement to participate and complete the
3treatment has not been waived by the Director, the prisoner
4shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria established by
5the Department. The Director may allow a prisoner placed on a
6waiting list to participate in and complete a substance abuse
7education class or attend substance abuse self-help meetings in
8lieu of a substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a
9waiting list who is not placed in a substance abuse program
10prior to release may be eligible for a waiver and receive
11sentence credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
12discretion of the Director.
13    (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
14also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex
15offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
16Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or
17she either has successfully completed or is participating in
18sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender
19Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to receive
20treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the lack
21of resources on the part of the Department, may, at the
22Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at a
23rate as the Director shall determine.
