Any 6 restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days 7 shall be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. 8 However, the Board may not restore good conduct credit in 9 excess of the amount requested by the Director. 10 Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the 11 Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section 12 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of 13 the sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to 14 the accumulation of good conduct credit. 15 (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois 16 or federal court against the State, the Department of 17 Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of 18 their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific 19 finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the 20 prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall 21 conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of good conduct 22 credit by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be 23 deprived of the good conduct credits before the Prisoner 24 Review Board as provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 25 3-3-2 of this Code.

In this 11 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good 12 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ... 13 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good 14 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant, 15 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply 16 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those 17 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer. 18 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day 19 good conduct credit for each day of participation in 20 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational 21 programs as provided for by Illinois statute." 22 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 23 enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, other than 24 when the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 25 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3 committed on 26 or after June 19, 1998the effective date of this amendatory27Act of 1998, and other than when the sentence is imposed for 28 reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 29 of the Criminal Code of 1961 committed on or after January 1, 30 1999, and other than when the sentence is imposed for an 31 offense described in paragraph (a)(2.4) of Section 3-6-3 32 committed on or after the effective date of this amendatory 33 Act of 1999, the judge's statement, to be given after 34 pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following: -13- LRB9100379RCkb 1 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 2 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 3 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 4 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 5 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of 6 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this 7 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good 8 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ... 9 years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good 10 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant, 11 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply 12 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those 13 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer. 14 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day 15 good conduct credit for each day of participation in 16 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational 17 programs as provided for by Illinois statute." 18 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 19 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than 20 first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or 21 after June 19, 1998the effective date of this amendatory Act22of 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless 23 homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the 24 Criminal Code of 1961 committed on or after January 1, 1999, 25 and when the sentence is imposed for an offense described in 26 paragraph (a)(2.4) of Section 3-6-3 committed on or after the 27 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999, the judge's 28 statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall 29 include the following: 30 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 31 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 32 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 33 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 34 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of -14- LRB9100379RCkb 1 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this 2 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of 3 good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of 4 imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least 5 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 6 4 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the 7 period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... 8 months. If the defendant, because of his or her own 9 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional 10 regulations receives lesser credit, the actual time served in 11 prison will be longer." 12 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first 13 degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June 14 19, 1998the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998, 15 the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the 16 sentence, shall include the following: 17 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 18 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 19 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 20 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 21 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of 22 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board.
