20 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the

27 facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
28 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
29 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
30 daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
31 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
32 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation

13 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
14 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
15 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
16 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
17 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
18 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
19 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
20 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
21 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
22 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review

24 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
25 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
26 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
27 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
28 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
29 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
30 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
31 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
32 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
33 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

14 State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
15 the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
16 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
17 deported when:
18 (1) a final order of deportation has been
19 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
20 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
21 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
22 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
23 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
24 justice.
25 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
26 provided in this Chapter V.
27 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for
28 a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on

31 the court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to
32 suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
33 custody of the Attorney General of the United States or
34 his or her designated agent when:
-13- LRB9110211DJcd
1 (1) a final order of deportation has been
2 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
3 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
4 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
5 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
6 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
7 justice.
8 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
9 who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
10 subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
11 (D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a
12 defendant sentenced under this Section returns to the
13 jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
14 recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or
15 she was sentenced. Thereafter, the defendant shall be
16 brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
17 sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
18 time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant
19 shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
20 for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
