SYNOPSIS

• The Prisoner Review Board was not composed of 15 members as
required by the Unified Code of Corrections.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

LACK OF REQUIRED BOARD MEMBERS

The Board was not composed of 15 members as required by the
Unified Code of Corrections (Code).  During the prior and
current examination period, the Board operated with only 13
members.  (Finding 2, page 9)  This finding was first reported
in 2008.

We recommended the Board work with the Governor’s office to
ensure Board vacancies are filled in a timely manner.

Board management accepted our recommendation and stated the
Board has and will continue to inform the Governor’s office of
all Board positions and the Board members’ term of appointment.
(For the previous Board response, see Digest Footnote #1.)

OTHER FINDING

The remaining finding is reportedly being given attention by the
Board.  We will review the Board’s progress toward
implementation of our recommendations during our next
examination.


AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a compliance examination of the Board as required
by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  The Board has no funds that
require an audit leading to an opinion of financial statements.
