9    sexual abuse, aggravated battery with a firearm, or any
10    predecessor or successor offenses with the same or
11    substantially the same elements, or any inchoate offenses
12    relating to the foregoing offenses. No inmate shall be
13    eligible for the additional good conduct credit under this
14    paragraph (4) who (i) has previously received increased
15    good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) and has
16    subsequently been convicted of a felony, or (ii) has
17    previously served more than one prior sentence of
18    imprisonment for a felony in an adult correctional
19    facility.
20        Educational, vocational, substance abuse and
21    correctional industry programs under which good conduct
22    credit may be increased under this paragraph (4) and
23    paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a) shall be evaluated

2    recidivism rate among program participants.
3        Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
4    limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
5    Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are
6    denied immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting
7    list under criteria established by the Department. The
8    inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such
9    programs by reason of insufficient program resources or for
10    any other reason established under the rules and
11    regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause
12    of action under which the Department or any employee or
13    agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the
14    inmate.
15        (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
16    an additional 60 days of good conduct credit shall be
17    awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level
18    Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the
19    prisoner is incarcerated. The good conduct credit awarded
20    under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and
21    shall not affect, the award of good conduct under any other
22    paragraph of this Section, but shall also be pursuant to
23    the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4)
24    of subsection (a) of this Section. The good conduct credit
25    provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to
26    those prisoners who have not previously earned a high

 

 

SB1562 Engrossed- 14 -LRB097 07076 RLC 47169 b

2    conduct credit has been made and the Department determines
3    that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be
4    revoked.
5        (4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall
6    also provide that when the court's sentencing order
7    recommends a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
8    crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
9    effective date of Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall
10    receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of
11    this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and
12    completes a substance abuse treatment program. The
13    Director may waive the requirement to participate in or
14    complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the
15    good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner
16    is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment
17    program for medical, programming, or operational reasons.
18    Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be subject
19    to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the
20    General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
21    available and the requirement to participate and complete
22    the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the
23    prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
24    established by the Department. The Director may allow a
25    prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
26    complete a substance abuse education class or attend

 

 

SB1562 Engrossed- 15 -LRB097 07076 RLC 47169 b

1    substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance
2    abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who
3    is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release
4    may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct
5    credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
6    discretion of the Director.
7        (4.6) The rules and regulations on early release shall
8    also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a
9    sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
10    Registration Act shall receive no good conduct credit
11    unless he or she either has successfully completed or is
12    participating in sex offender treatment as defined by the
13    Sex Offender Management Board. However, prisoners who are
14    waiting to receive such treatment, but who are unable to do
15    so due solely to the lack of resources on the part of the
16    Department, may, at the Director's sole discretion, be
17    awarded good conduct credit at such rate as the Director
18    shall determine.
19        (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
20    earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of good
21    conduct credit for meritorious service given at any time
22    during the term, the Department shall give reasonable
23    notice of the impending release not less than 14 days prior
24    to the date of the release to the State's Attorney of the
25    county where the prosecution of the inmate took place, and

6    The identification information shall include the inmate's:
7    name, any known alias, date of birth, physical
8    characteristics, residence address, commitment offense and

10    information shall be placed on the website within 3 days of
11    the inmate's release and the information may not be removed
12    until either: completion of the first year of mandatory
13    supervised release or return of the inmate to custody of

15    (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
16several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
17shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
18forfeiting of good time.
19    (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
20for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing the
21rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific rule
22violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
23shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
24year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.
25    When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
26rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for an alleged

5amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
6month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
730 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
8within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
9Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good
10conduct credit. The Board may subsequently approve the
11revocation of additional good conduct credit, if the Department
