So the executive branch of the state of Illinois is extending the punishment period allowed by the court? A sentence is an authorization by the judicial allowing the executive to punish someone. The executive can shorten the sentence, e.g. good time, but how can it be allowed to extend it?

There must be a constitutional violation in there somewhere.

In the federal system, a defendant’s time incarcerated “regardless of reason” does not always count towards probationary time. See Mont v. US 139 S.Ct. 1826 (2019).

I just looked at Georgia’s Registry Hit List and 45.5% of the listed people are listed as “BLACK”. That is way above the percentage in the population.

But of course people of color are impacted by the Hit Lists a lot more. The Hit Lists are part of big government’s incarceration business. Big government has their favorite customers that they love to harass and imprison. So, of course.

Being in LE custody, regardless of reason, counts toward time spent on probation. By most state statutes, only when a probationer absconds is the time not counted toward the probation period. That period (which ends the day he is arrested for absconding) would be added to the end of the original sentence.

Unfortunately, a lot of dirty DAs (assisted by equally dirty or indifferent courts) find ways to circumvent that. Seen it happen more times than I can remember.

That confirms my impression of him. Someone who gets it. I hope he retains his chairmanship for a long time.

Senator Brandes is my pick. He believes in best practices and using evidence-based facts.

He had a virtual Town Hall meeting yesterday, but unfortunately it was on Facebook. He describes Florida as being one of the worst states as far as our criminal justice system goes — named so many things that need to be changed. He appears to be a fighter.

According to an article in The Appeal a couple of years ago, African American males are on the registry at a rate that is twice as high as the rate for white males, when taken per capita.

Roger,
Good for looking out for other RSO’ S this community needs a lot more people like yourself with helpful info on what to do when your in trouble

Ed C, that is something I wonder too. My bet is, the state counts any overlap of time as two separate things. But say someone is given a sentence of 6 years in prison to be followed by lifetime probation but the statutory maximum punish is ten years. If a defendant serves his 6 years plus four years probation, then he has fulfilled the statutory maximum punishment.
