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.

Sec. 3-14-4.
Half-way Houses.
(a) The Department may establish and
maintain half-way houses for the residence of persons on parole or
mandatory release. Such half-way houses shall be maintained apart from
security institutions, except that the Director of Corrections is authorized
to designate that any work or day release facility, or any portion thereof,
may be used as a half-way house for the residence of persons on parole or
mandatory supervised release.
(b) For those persons to be placed in a half-way house directly upon release
from an institution on parole or mandatory supervised release status,
not less than 15 days prior to the placement of such a person in such a
half-way house, the Department of Corrections shall give written notice
to the State's Attorney and the Sheriff of the county and the proper law
enforcement agency of the municipality in which the
half-way house is located of the identity of the person to be placed in
that program. Such identifying information shall include,
but not be limited to, the name of the individual, age, physical description,
photograph, the crime for which the person was originally sentenced to
the Department of Corrections, and like information. The notice
shall be given in all cases, except when placement of an emergency nature
is necessary. In such emergency cases, oral notice
shall be given to the appropriate parties within 24 hours with written notice
to follow within 5 days.
(c) Persons on parole or mandatory supervised release status who have
been previously released to the community, but who are not currently
residing in a half-way house, may be placed in a half-way house upon the
oral notification of the parties within 24 hours as indicated in subsection
(b) of this Section. Such oral notification shall be followed with
written notification within 5 days.
