Bill Summary

Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that if the county jail located in the county where the committed person was residing immediately before his or her conviction for the offense for which he or she is serving sentence in the Department of Corrections has a reentry program for committed persons, the Department of Corrections shall reimburse the county for any expenses incurred in the transfer of the committed person to the sheriff of the county where the reentry program is located, including the housing of the committed person transferred to the reentry program.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections to create a reimbursement mechanism for county jails with reentry programs. Specifically, if a county jail has an established reentry program for individuals who were residing in that county before their conviction, the Department of Corrections will be required to reimburse the county for expenses related to transferring and housing the committed person in the reentry program. This provision aims to support local-level rehabilitation efforts by providing financial compensation to counties that invest in reentry services, which are designed to help incarcerated individuals successfully transition back into society and reduce recidivism. The bill appears to incentivize counties to develop and maintain reentry programs by offsetting the costs associated with transferring and supporting program participants.
