|
(a) The Department may establish
and operate an impact |
incarceration
program for eligible offenders. If the court |
finds under

court by the Department that
the offender has successfully |
completed the program. In the event the

his |
term of imprisonment shall be as set forth by the court in its |
sentencing
order.
