additional | ||
good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) who (i) has |
previously
received increased good conduct credit under | ||
this paragraph (4) and has
subsequently been convicted of a
| ||
felony, or (ii) has previously served more than one prior | ||
sentence of
imprisonment for a felony in an adult | ||
correctional facility.
| ||
Educational, vocational, substance abuse and | ||
correctional
industry programs under which good conduct | ||
credit may be increased under
this paragraph (4) and | ||
paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a) shall be evaluated | ||
by the Department on the basis of
documented standards. The | ||
Department shall report the results of these
evaluations to | ||
the Governor and the General Assembly by September 30th of | ||
each
year. The reports shall include data relating to the | ||
recidivism rate among
program participants.
| ||
Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
| ||
limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General | ||
Assembly for these
purposes. Eligible inmates who are | ||
denied immediate admission shall be
placed on a waiting | ||
list under criteria established by the Department.
The | ||
inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such | ||
programs
by reason of insufficient program resources or for | ||
any other reason
established under the rules and | ||
regulations of the Department shall not be
deemed a cause | ||
of action under which the Department or any employee or
| ||
agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the | ||
inmate.
|
(4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that | ||
an additional 60 days of good conduct credit shall be | ||
awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level | ||
Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the | ||
prisoner is incarcerated. The good conduct credit awarded | ||
under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and | ||
shall not affect, the award of good conduct under any other | ||
paragraph of this Section, but shall also be pursuant to | ||
the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) | ||
of subsection (a) of this Section.
The good conduct credit | ||
provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to | ||
those prisoners who have not previously earned a high | ||
school diploma or a GED. If, after an award of the GED good | ||
conduct credit has been made and the Department determines | ||
that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be | ||
revoked.
| ||
(4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall | ||
also provide that
when the court's sentencing order | ||
recommends a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
| ||
crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the | ||
effective date of
Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall | ||
receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of | ||
this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and
| ||
completes a substance abuse treatment program. The | ||
Director may waive the requirement to participate in or | ||
complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the |
good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner | ||
is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment | ||
program for medical, programming, or operational reasons. | ||
Availability of
substance abuse treatment shall be subject | ||
to the limits of fiscal resources
appropriated by the | ||
General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
| ||
available and the requirement to participate and complete | ||
the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the | ||
prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
| ||
established by the Department. The Director may allow a | ||
prisoner placed on
a waiting list to participate in and | ||
complete a substance abuse education class or attend | ||
substance
abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance | ||
abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who | ||
is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release | ||
may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct | ||
credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the | ||
discretion of the Director.
| ||
(5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate | ||
earlier than it
otherwise would because of a grant of good | ||
conduct credit for meritorious
service given at any time | ||
during the term, the Department shall give
reasonable | ||
advance notice of the impending release to the State's
| ||
Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate | ||
took place.
| ||
(b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
|
several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
| ||
shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
| ||
forfeiting of good time.
| ||
(c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
| ||
for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing
the | ||
rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific
rule | ||
violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
| ||
shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
| ||
year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.
| ||
When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the | ||
rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for
an alleged | ||
infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor | ||
against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
good conduct | ||
credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in | ||
subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this
Code, if the | ||
amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 | ||
month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds | ||
30 days except where the infraction is committed
or discovered | ||
within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases,
the | ||
Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good | ||
conduct credit.
The Board may subsequently approve the | ||
revocation of additional good
conduct credit, if the Department | ||
seeks to revoke good conduct credit in
excess of 30 days. | ||
However, the Board shall not be empowered to review the
| ||
Department's decision with respect to the loss of 30 days of | ||
good conduct
credit within any calendar year for any prisoner |
or to increase any penalty
beyond the length requested by the | ||
Department.
| ||
The Director of the Department of Corrections, in | ||
appropriate cases, may
restore up to 30 days good conduct | ||
credits which have been revoked, suspended
or reduced. Any | ||
restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days shall
| ||
be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the | ||
Board may not
restore good conduct credit in excess of the | ||
amount requested by the Director.
| ||
Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the | ||
Prisoner Review Board
from ordering, pursuant to Section | ||
3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up
to one year of the | ||
sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
| ||
accumulation of good conduct credit.
| ||
(d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or | ||
federal court
against the State, the Department of Corrections, | ||
or the Prisoner Review Board,
or against any of
their officers | ||
or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
| ||
pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is | ||
frivolous, the
Department of Corrections shall conduct a | ||
hearing to revoke up to
180 days of good conduct credit by | ||
bringing charges against the prisoner
sought to be deprived of | ||
the good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as | ||
provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
| ||
If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of good conduct | ||
credit at the
time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review |
Board may revoke all
good conduct credit accumulated by the | ||
prisoner.
| ||
For purposes of this subsection (d):
| ||
(1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other | ||
filing which
purports to be a legal document filed by a | ||
prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets
any or all of the | ||
following criteria:
| ||
(A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in | ||
fact;
| ||
(B) it is being presented for any improper purpose, | ||
such as to harass or
to cause unnecessary delay or | ||
needless increase in the cost of litigation;
| ||
(C) the claims, defenses, and other legal | ||
contentions therein are not
warranted by existing law | ||
or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
| ||
modification, or reversal of existing law or the | ||
establishment of new law;
| ||
(D) the allegations and other factual contentions | ||
do not have
evidentiary
support or, if specifically so | ||
identified, are not likely to have evidentiary
support | ||
after a reasonable opportunity for further | ||
investigation or discovery;
or
| ||
(E) the denials of factual contentions are not | ||
warranted on the
evidence, or if specifically so | ||
identified, are not reasonably based on a lack
of | ||
information or belief.
|
(2) "Lawsuit" means a petition for post-conviction | ||
relief under Article
122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure | ||
of 1963, a motion pursuant to Section
