May 31, 2012, State Legislature passes new law paving way for Early Release programs! Read latest at http://richardwanke.com
Don’t be confused! There is no change concerning the review process for IDOC early release for most IDOC inmates. In July 2010, IDOC began releasing individuals who it states were approved for Early Release prior to January 2010. IDOC has set up a public notification page on it’s website listing names and (unfortunately) the addresses and offense information for all inmates that it is now releasing early because they were approved for Good Time credits before the program was suspended. All you inmates out there who were lucky enough to be approved before the suspension know who you are and have been waiting impatiently to be released. Sources within IDOC say there may be a backlog of up to three years worth of pre-approved individuals awaiting their release. Meanwhile, for the rest of IDOC inmates, the Early Release programs remain suspended awaiting legislative action. For the rest, there are no short-cuts and when Early Release rules are finally worked out, the release criteria and rules are likely to be tougher.
It is now January 2011, and the State Legislature just passed a IL state tax hike as well as approval to borrow money to pay it’s long overdue bills. In doing so, the State Legislature has begun to deal with the State’s fiscal crisis. A new legislature is now in session and there will be more political wrangling about working out the rest of the details on financial matters. IDOC issues and any reinstatement of MGT will be part of those financial matters because they have cost the state plenty, but they will not be a priority to the legislators. We still anticipate that no action is likely to occur for several months, perhaps in Spring 2011. Read our latest article about MGT here: Why Hoping MGT will Return in January “Won’t Make It So”
