Illinois SB2675 allows certain inmates with 20-year minimum sentences to elect determinate sentencing.
Illinois SB2675 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to allow inmates with a minimum term of 20 years or more to elect determinate sentencing. This applies to those incarcerated under an indeterminate sentence as of February 1, 1978. The election must be made in writing to the Department of Corrections, which will inform eligible persons within 60 days of the Act's effective date. The Department will provide necessary forms and assistance. If elected, the person's indeterminate sentence will convert to a determinate sentence consistent with 1978 law.
