6program participants.
7 Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
8limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly
9for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied immediate
10admission shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
11established by the Department. The inability of any inmate to
12become engaged in any such programs by reason of insufficient
13program resources or for any other reason established under the
14rules and regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a
15cause of action under which the Department or any employee or
16agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the
17inmate.
18 (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that an
19additional 90 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any
20prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing while the
21prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections. The
22sentence credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in
23addition to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence credit
24under any other paragraph of this Section, but shall also be
25pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in
26paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section. The sentence

SB1722 Engrossed- 68 -LRB100 11347 RLC 21730 b
1credit provided for in this paragraph shall be available only
2to those prisoners who have not previously earned a high school
3diploma or a high school equivalency certificate. If, after an
4award of the high school equivalency testing sentence credit
5has been made, the Department determines that the prisoner was
6not eligible, then the award shall be revoked. The Department
7may also award 90 days of sentence credit to any committed
8person who passed high school equivalency testing while he or
9she was held in pre-trial detention prior to the current
10commitment to the Department of Corrections.
11 (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
12also provide that when the court's sentencing order recommends
13a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was
14committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
15Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
16credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
17he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
18treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to
19participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program
20and award the sentence credit in specific instances if the
21prisoner is not a good candidate for a substance abuse
22treatment program for medical, programming, or operational
23reasons. Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be
24subject to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the
25General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
26available and the requirement to participate and complete the

SB1722 Engrossed- 69 -LRB100 11347 RLC 21730 b
1treatment has not been waived by the Director, the prisoner
2shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria established by
3the Department. The Director may allow a prisoner placed on a
4waiting list to participate in and complete a substance abuse
5education class or attend substance abuse self-help meetings in
6lieu of a substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a
7waiting list who is not placed in a substance abuse program
8prior to release may be eligible for a waiver and receive
9sentence credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
10discretion of the Director.
11 (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
12also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex
13offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
14Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or
15she either has successfully completed or is participating in
16sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender
17Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to receive
18treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the lack
19of resources on the part of the Department, may, at the
20Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at a
21rate as the Director shall determine.
22 (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
23earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of sentence
24credit for good conduct under paragraph (3) of subsection (a)
25of this Section given at any time during the term, the
26Department shall give reasonable notice of the impending

SB1722 Engrossed- 70 -LRB100 11347 RLC 21730 b

2to the State's Attorney of the county where the prosecution of
3the inmate took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney
4of the county into which the inmate will be released. The
5Department must also make identification information and a
6recent photo of the inmate being released accessible on the
7Internet by means of a hyperlink labeled "Community

9Wide Web homepage. The identification information shall
10include the inmate's: name, any known alias, date of birth,
11physical characteristics, commitment offense and county where
12conviction was imposed. The identification information shall
13be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release
14and the information may not be removed until either: completion
15of the first year of mandatory supervised release or return of
16the inmate to custody of the Department.
17 (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
18several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
19shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
20forfeiting of sentence credit.
21 (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
22for revoking sentence credit, including revoking sentence
23credit awarded for good conduct under paragraph (3) of
24subsection (a) of this Section. The Department shall prescribe
25rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the rate of
26accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule violations,

SB1722 Engrossed- 71 -LRB100 11347 RLC 21730 b
1during imprisonment. These rules and regulations shall provide
2that no inmate may be penalized more than one year of sentence
3credit for any one infraction.
4 When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
5rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an alleged
6infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges therefor
7against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of sentence
8credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided in
9subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
10amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
11month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
1230 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
13within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
14Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence
15credit. The Board may subsequently approve the revocation of
16additional sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke
17sentence credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall
18not be empowered to review the Department's decision with
19respect to the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any

14 guidelines under this paragraph, the court shall consider:
15 (A) the age, immaturity, or limited mental
16 capacity of the defendant at the time of commission of

7 apprehension of another felon or testified truthfully
8 on behalf of another prosecution of a felony; and
9 (H) whether departure is in the interest of the
10 person's rehabilitation, including employment or
11 educational or vocational training, after taking into

16 under this Section, the court shall specify on the record,
17 the particular evidence, information, factor or factors,
18 or other reasons which led to the departure from the
19 sentencing guidelines. When departing from the sentencing
20 range in accordance with this subsection (d), the court
21 shall indicate on the sentencing order which departure
22 factor or factors outlined in paragraph (2) of this
23 subsection (d) led to the sentence imposed. The sentencing
24 order shall be filed with the clerk of the court and shall
25 be a public record.
