I want to talk about a bill that passed January 1st of this year to help reduce the prison population.  It’s called Earned Discretionary Sentence Credit 730 ILCS 5/3-6-3(a)(3).  This bill grants Illinois Department of Corrections Director Rob Jeffreys the discretion to award either 180 days or 365 days of good time to specific inmates.  This award of good time means that the specified amount of time will be deducted from the inmate’s sentence.

What Warden Clark and Director Jeffreys are doing is called Abuse Under the Color of Law and it is ILLEGAL.    If you want to do something about it and you live in Illinois, write or email your assemblymen.   If you live outside of Illinois, you can contact the Illinois Governor’s Office of Constituent Affairs or Illinois’s U.S. Congressional Members.
