21 | following
manner:
| |||||||||||||||||||
22 | (i) (A) For those sentenced under the law in effect | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | prior to
this amendatory Act of 1977, the recommitment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be for any
portion of the imposed maximum term of | ||||||
2 | imprisonment or confinement
which had not been served | ||||||
3 | at the time of parole and the parole
term, less the | ||||||
4 | time elapsed between the parole of the person and
the | ||||||
5 | commission of the violation for which parole was | ||||||

3 | Act or the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 may be continued | ||||||
4 | under the existing term of parole with or without | ||||||
5 | modifying the conditions of parole, paroled or | ||||||
6 | released to a group home or other residential facility, | ||||||
7 | or recommitted until the age of 21 unless sooner | ||||||
8 | terminated;
| ||||||
9 | (iv) this Section is subject to the release under
| ||||||

| ||||||
12 | (b) The Board may revoke parole or mandatory supervised
| ||||||
13 | release for violation of a condition for the duration of the
| ||||||

15 | for the adjudication of matters arising before its expiration.
| ||||||
16 | The issuance of a warrant of arrest for an alleged violation
of | ||||||
17 | the conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release
shall | ||||||
18 | toll the running of the term until the final determination of | ||||||
19 | the
charge. When
parole or mandatory supervised release is not | ||||||
20 | revoked
that period shall be credited to the term, unless a | ||||||
21 | community-based sanction is imposed as an alternative to | ||||||
22 | revocation and reincarceration, including a diversion | ||||||
23 | established by the Illinois Department of Corrections Parole | ||||||
24 | Services Unit prior to the holding of a preliminary parole | ||||||
25 | revocation hearing. Parolees who are diverted to a | ||||||
26 | community-based sanction shall serve the entire term of parole |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or mandatory supervised release, if otherwise appropriate.
| ||||||
2 | (b-5) The Board shall revoke parole or mandatory supervised | ||||||
3 | release for violation of the conditions prescribed in paragraph | ||||||
4 | (7.6) of subsection (a) of Section 3-3-7. | ||||||
5 | (c) A person charged with violating a condition of parole | ||||||
6 | or
mandatory supervised release shall have a preliminary | ||||||
7 | hearing
before a hearing officer designated by the Board to | ||||||
8 | determine
if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation | ||||||
9 | hearing.
However, no preliminary hearing need be held when | ||||||
10 | revocation is based
upon new criminal charges and a court finds | ||||||
11 | probable cause on the new
criminal charges or when the | ||||||
12 | revocation
is based upon a new criminal conviction and a | ||||||
13 | certified copy of
that conviction is available.
| ||||||
14 | (d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
| ||||||
15 | revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
| ||||||
16 | the violation of parole or mandatory supervised release charged
| ||||||
17 | against him.
| ||||||
18 | (e) A hearing on revocation shall be conducted before at
| ||||||
19 | least one member of the Prisoner Review Board. The Board may
| ||||||
20 | meet and order its actions in panels of 3 or more members.
The | ||||||
21 | action of a majority of the panel shall be the action of
the | ||||||
22 | Board. In consideration of persons committed to the Department | ||||||
23 | of Juvenile Justice, the member hearing the matter and at least | ||||||
24 | a majority
of the panel shall be experienced in juvenile | ||||||
25 | matters. A record
of the hearing shall be made. At the hearing | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
2 | (2) bring witnesses on his behalf.
| ||||||
3 | (f) The Board shall either revoke parole or mandatory
| ||||||
4 | supervised release or order the person's term continued with
or | ||||||
5 | without modification or enlargement of the conditions.
| ||||||
6 | (g) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
| ||||||
7 | revoked for failure to make payments under the conditions of
| ||||||
8 | parole or release unless the Board determines that such failure | ||||||
9 | is
due to the offender's willful refusal to pay.
