Bill > SB3333

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections to expand the types of programs and activities for which inmates can receive sentence credit, which is time deducted from their prison sentence for good behavior or participation in rehabilitative programs. Specifically, it allows sentence credit for completing substance abuse programs that are no longer required to be a full-time, 60-day or longer program, and also for completing county jail or detention facility work assignments, parenting programs, or re-entry planning facilitated by county departments, jails, or other providers. Additionally, it allows for sentence credit for participating in supervised community work or activities prior to being committed to the Department of Corrections. These changes aim to provide more opportunities for inmates to earn time off their sentences by engaging in beneficial activities, even if those activities were completed before their current incarceration or through county-level programs.
