Mandatory Supervised Release in Illinois

Illinois replaced discretionary parole with mandatory supervised release (MSR) for most offenses committed after 1978. Individuals released under MSR are subject to supervision conditions, and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board administers the program and conducts hearings when alleged violations arise.

Violations generally fall into one of two categories:

Technical violations involve a failure to comply with a supervision condition, such as a missed reporting appointment, a failed drug test, or an unauthorized change of address.
Substantive violations involve a new criminal offense committed while on supervised release.

The Revocation Hearing Process

When a violation is alleged, the individual may be taken into custody while the matter is pending. A preliminary hearing is held to determine whether probable cause exists to support the alleged violation. If probable cause is found, the Illinois Prisoner Review Board schedules a revocation hearing.

At the revocation hearing, the individual has the right to notice of the specific violation alleged and an opportunity to be heard. The Prisoner Review Board then determines whether the violation occurred, and if it finds one did, the individual can be returned to custody to serve additional time on the original sentence. Due process rights apply throughout, and having legal representation before the hearing can matter.

New Criminal Charges & the Lake County Circuit Court

When an alleged MSR violation involves a new criminal offense, two separate proceedings can run at the same time. The Illinois Prisoner Review Board handles the revocation process, while any new criminal charges are prosecuted in the Lake County Circuit Court, the 19th Judicial Circuit. These are distinct proceedings with different standards, and each requires its own defense strategy.
