Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

        (6) has not made an effort in good faith to
    
participate in or to complete any educational or vocational program or any program of treatment, as ordered by the Director.
    (d) The Director shall adopt rules requiring offenders who are assigned to the custody of the sheriff or police chief under this Section to reimburse the Department for the cost of their participation in a program, to the extent of their ability to pay.
    (e) The sheriff or police chief may return the offender to the custody of the Department at any time for any violation of the terms and conditions imposed by the Director in consultation with the Prisoner Review Board.
    (f) If an offender assigned to the custody of the sheriff or police chief under this Section violates any of the terms or conditions imposed by the Director in consultation with the Prisoner Review Board and is returned to the custody of the Department, the offender forfeits all or part of the credits for good behavior earned by him or her before he or she was returned to the custody of the Department, as determined by the Director. The Director may provide for a forfeiture of credits under this subsection (f) only after proof of the violation and notice is given to the offender. The Director may restore credits so forfeited for such reasons as he or she considers proper. The Director, by rule, shall establish procedures for review of forfeiture of good behavior credit. The decision of the Director regarding such a forfeiture is final.
    (g) The assignment of an offender to the custody of the sheriff or police chief under this Section shall be deemed:
        (1) a continuation of his or her imprisonment and not
    
a release on parole or mandatory supervised release; and
        (2) for the purposes of Section 3-8-1, an assignment
    
to a facility of the Department, except that the offender is not entitled to obtain any benefits or to participate in any programs provided to offenders in the custody of the Department.
    (h) An offender does not have a right to be assigned to the custody of the sheriff or police chief under this Section, or to remain in that custody after such an assignment. It is not intended that the establishment or operation of a program creates any right or interest in liberty or property or establishes a basis for any cause of action against this State or its political subdivisions, agencies, boards, commissions, departments, officers, or employees.
