27 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
28 daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
29 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
30 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
31 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
32 employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court

11 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
12 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
13 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
14 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
15 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
16 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
17 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
18 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own

22 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
23 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
24 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
25 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
26 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
27 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
28 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
29 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
30 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
31 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

14 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
15 deported when:
16 (1) a final order of deportation has been
17 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
18 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
19 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
20 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
21 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of

34 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
-14- LRB9104999RCks

4 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
5 justice.
6 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
7 who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
8 subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.

14 brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
15 sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
16 time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant
17 shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
18 for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
