A new law, effective January 1, 2022 allows county prosecutors throughout Illinois to allow and seek re sentencing for people convicted of crimes if they believe their original sentence does not serve the interests of justice.. Under the new law someone who is rre sentenced cannot be given a harsher penalty than their original sentence. Judges may consider myriad factors including an inmate's disciplinary record while incarcerated, their reduced risk for committing future violence, and if their health has worsened. #resentencingcriminalsuspects,
