Bill > SB2132

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections to modify sentence credits for specific criminal offenses. Specifically, the bill provides that prisoners serving sentences for bringing contraband into a penal institution or for aggravated battery against peace officers, corrections officers, or correctional facility employees will receive no more than 4.5 days of sentence credit for each month of their imprisonment. Furthermore, prisoners convicted of bringing contraband into a penal institution will be ineligible to receive sentence credits under paragraphs related to programming, educational achievements, and other good conduct. The bill applies these restrictions to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly. By limiting sentence credits for these specific offenses, the legislation aims to impose stricter penalties for actions that compromise the safety and security of correctional facilities, particularly those involving contraband and violence against correctional staff.
