| ||||
(730 ILCS 5/3-13-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-13-4)
| ||||

(a) The Department shall
establish rules governing release | ||||
status and shall provide written
copies of such rules to both | ||||
the committed person on work or day release
and to the employer | ||||
or other person responsible for the individual.
Such employer | ||||
or other responsible person shall agree to abide by such
| ||||
rules, notify the Department of any violation thereof by the | ||||
individual
on release status, and notify the Department of the | ||||
discharge of the
person from work or other programs.
| ||||
(b) If a committed person violates any rule, the | ||||
Department may
impose sanctions appropriate to the violation. | ||||
The Department shall
provide sanctions for unauthorized | ||||
absences which shall include
prosecution for escape under | ||||
Section 3-6-4.
| ||||
(c) An order certified by the Director, Assistant | ||||
Director, or the Supervisor of the Apprehension Unit, or a | ||||
person
duly designated by him or her, with the seal of the | ||||
Department of Corrections
attached and directed to all | ||
sheriffs, coroners, police officers, or to
any particular | ||
persons named in the order shall be sufficient
warrant for the | ||
officer or person named therein to arrest and deliver
the | ||
violator to the proper correctional official. Such order shall | ||
be
executed the same as criminal processes.
| ||
In the event that a work-releasee is arrested for another | ||
crime, the
sheriff or police officer shall hold the releasee | ||
in custody until he
notifies the nearest Office of Field | ||
Services or any of the above-named
persons designated in this | ||
Section to certify the particular process or
warrant.
| ||
(d) Not less than 3 15 days prior to any person being | ||

Department of Corrections shall,
in addition, give written | ||
notice not less than 3 15 days prior to the

was | ||
originally sentenced. The notification requirements of this | ||
subsection (d) may be electronic notification for individuals | ||
required to be housed outside the penitentiary system pursuant | ||
to subsection (a) of Section 5-8-6. | ||
(e) For those individuals required to be housed outside | ||
the penitentiary system as outlined in subsection (a) of | ||
Section 5-8-6, the Department as soon as reasonably | ||
