(c) The Director, by rule, shall adopt standards setting forth which offenders are eligible to be assigned to the custody of the sheriff or police chief to participate in the program under this Section. The standards adopted by the Director must be approved by the Prisoner Review Board and must provide that an offender is ineligible for participation in the program who:

(1) has recently committed a serious infraction of the rules of an institution or facility of the Department;

(2) has not performed the duties assigned to him or her in a faithful and orderly manner;

(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:

(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.
