CD CORR-SENTENCE CREDITS

Summary

The Credit for Change Act would let people in Illinois prisons earn one day off their sentence for each day they serve, except for natural life sentences. Within six months of the law’s start, the Department of Corrections must recalculate every inmate’s release date and can grant retroactive credits for offenses committed after June 19 1998 based on specified factors. The department must also provide clear printed, online, and posted information about how credits are earned and applied.
