1  AN ACT concerning criminal law.
2  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3  represented in the General Assembly:
4  Section 1. Purpose.  In recognition of the historical
5  harms of systemic racism and overly punitive sentencing, as
6  well as concerns to address mass incarceration and safely
7  reduce the prison population, this Act is needed to ensure
8  that persons are not serving excessive sentences with no
9  public benefit. By utilizing and extending existing review
10  mechanisms, this Act will reduce unnecessary incarceration,
11  reduce costs of incarceration, provide incentive to people
12  with long sentences to prepare for productive lives, make
13  prisons safer for incarcerated persons and prison staff, and
14  help bring the State in compliance with Section 11 of Article I
15  of the Illinois Constitution, which mandates that all
16  penalties aim to restore incarcerated people to useful
17  citizenship.
18  Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
19  changing Sections 3-3-3 and 3-5-1 and by adding Section
20  3-3-3.1 as follows:
21  (730 ILCS 5/3-3-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-3-3)
