(730 ILCS 5/5-6-3.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-3.2)
Sec. 5-6-3.2.
(a) In counties with populations of 2,000,000 or more
inhabitants, the court may, after consideration of the factors set forth
in paragraph (c), require as a condition of probation that a person participate
in the Probation Challenge Program. Upon imposing such condition on the
person, the court shall provide the person with the address of the Program's
offices and the name of the Counselor Supervisor of the Program, and require
that the person present himself to the Counselor Supervisor at such address
by the close of office hours on the immediately succeeding day during which
the Program maintains regular office hours. The clerk of the court shall
promptly notify the Counselor Supervisor of each person who has been required
to participate in the Program as a condition of his probation and the date
on which such condition was imposed. Whether a person is eligible for
entry into the Program is a judicial determination.
(b) The condition that the person participate in the Probation Challenge
Program includes the specific conditions that the person present himself
to the Counselor Supervisor of such Program pursuant to paragraph (a),
that the person punctually appear for all meetings scheduled between him
and any personnel of such Program, and that the person strictly comply
with all rules prescribed by the Board of City College of Chicago pursuant
to Section 12 of the Probation Challenge Program Act. Violation of any of
the specific conditions set forth in this paragraph shall not be grounds
for revocation of probation, except where such violation has resulted in
the person's expulsion from the Program.
(c) In determining whether to require that a person participate in the
Probation Challenge Program as a condition of his probation, the court should consider
(1) Whether the person demonstrates a desire to avoid future conduct of
the type which resulted in his being sentenced to a term of probation;
(2) Whether the type of assistance offered by the Probation Challenge
Program is best suited to the person's needs;
(3) Whether the person appears, in light of his age and history, to be
a likely candidate for rehabilitation;
(4) Whether the person has access to the economic resources, and is exposed
to the type of social influences, which would enable him to attain the
types of goals established for clients of the Probation Challenge Program
without his participating in the Program;
(5) Whether the person demonstrates potential for accomplishing the types
of goals which would be established for him were he a client of the Probation
Challenge Program; and
(6) The need for limiting the number of participants in the Probation
Challenge Program to a level which can be efficiently managed by the personnel
of such Program.
(d) Participation by a person in the Probation Challenge Program shall
be for the duration of the person's term of probation. In the event the
person successfully attains all the goals which have been established for
him by his counselor and instructor in the Probation Challenge Program,
the court may, on its own motion, on the motion of the person's probation
officer or at the request of the person, terminate the person's probation
if, in the opinion of the court, such action would best serve the interests
of the person and the ends of justice.
(e) A person shall be expelled from the Probation Challenge Program upon
his violating for the fourth time any of the conditions set forth in
paragraph (b). A person who has been expelled from the Probation Challenge Program
shall not subsequently participate in such Program absent compelling reasons
in favor of such subsequent participation.
