CD CORR-NOTICE WORK RELEASE

Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that the 15-day notification requirement to the State's Attorney and Sheriff of the county in which a work release facility is located that a committed person is being placed in a work release facility does not apply to individuals required to be housed outside the penitentiary system.

Provides that the information shall include, but is not limited to, such identifying information as name, age, physical description, photograph, the offense, and the sentence for which the person is serving time in the custody of the Department of Corrections, and similar information. Provides that the Department of Corrections shall, in addition, give written notice as soon as reasonably practicable to the State's Attorney of the county from which the individual was originally sentenced.
