### IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STA TE OF IL LINOIS

CHRISTOPHER

HOLL Y, Plaintiff
, v. JORGE MONTES, Chairman of the Prisoner Review Board for the I llinois Department of Correct ions, Def endant.

Opinion filed May 22, 2008.

JUSTICE KIL BRI DE delive

red the j udgmen

t of the c ourt, with opinion. Chief Justice Thomas and Justices Freeman, Fitzgerald, Garman, and Karmeier concurred in the judg ment and opinion. Justice Burke took no part in the decision.

OPINION

The plaintiff, Christopher Holly, filed an or iginal compl aint fo r mandamus in this c ourt under Supreme Court Rule 381 (188 Ill. 2d R. 381(c)). He sought

an order directingthe Prisoner Review Board (Board) to eliminate the condition of electronic home confinement (EHC) during h

is mandatory super

vised release (MSR). Prior to oral argument o n his complaint, however, Holly’s EH C was terminated, and the electronic moni tori ng device was removed. The B oard then moved to dismiss t he compla int as moot. Nonetheless, we will addressthe issue s raised

in the compl aint bec ause the y f all under the-2- public interest exception to the mootness doctrine. We also hold that the Board p

roperly imposed EH C as one of

Holly ’s MSR cond

itions, precluding a grant of man da mus relief. Therefore, we de ny Holly ’s request for mandamus

.

BACKGROUND In 20 02, Holly

entered a negotiated guilty

plea to second degree

mur dera nd concealing a homicide for acts he committed in 1996. Prior to accepting the plea, the circuit court admonished Holly about the potential sentences, including the stat u torily required ter

m of MSR. Holly rece

ived consecutive prisonsentences of 15 and 5 ye ars, respectively , as well as a term of MSR. In 2007, the Board imposed EHC as a sp ecial c ondition of his MSR. Su bs eq ue nt ly, Holly filed a complaint for mandamus in this cou rt, seeking an order directing the Board to enforce the terms of his plea bargain. According to Holly , EHC could not be incl uded as a condition of his MSR be cause: ( 1) th e Board had no statutory authority to impose EHC as an MSR condition; (2) EHC constituted unconstit u tional imprisonment following the completion of hi s priso n sentence; and (3) his due process rights were violated beca use EHC during his MSR was not part of the bargain he struck when he entered his negotiated plea. The B oa rd counte

red that its author

ity t o impose EH C as a condition of MSR was necessarily included in the legislature’s broad grant of discretion. Moreover, the legislature specific ally

authorized EHC as a cond ition of MSR. Fin ally , the Boa rd claimed that Holl

y

was not deprived of

due process or the benefit of his negotiated ple a when the circuit court f

ailed to a dmo nish h im that EHC could be a condition of his MSR. Only ei gh t d ays be fore oral argument, Holly ’s parole agent removedhis electronic monitoring bracelet and informed him that he

was no l onger

subject to electronic home confinement. The Boar d then filed an

emerg ency

motion to dis miss Holly ’s mandamus action

on mootness grounds. We declined to resolve the mootne s s issue at that time.-3- ANA LYSIS
I. Mo otness Ini ti al ly, we address the Board’s moo tnes s claim. I n both its emergency

motio n an d oral argument, the Board a rgued that we should not consid

er Holly ’s mandamus complain t becaus e we could

no longer grant him effective relief after his release from EHC, the sole reli ef requ ested in th e compla int. Holly maintains, however, that we should address the mer its of his complaint because the Board continued to asser tthe legality o f its conduct. In addition , he argues that the Board c ould reimpose EHC withoutwarning or explanation, just as it had released him from EHC prior to oral argument, implicating both the recurr ence and publ i c interest exceptions to the mootness doctrine. When intervening events pre clude a reviewing court from granting ef

fe ct iv e r el ie f t o a co mp la in in g p ar ty, an appeal is rendered
moot. Felzak v. Hruby , 226 Ill. 2d 382, 39 1 (2007). Under the

recurrence

excepti on , however, we may review moot controversies wher e ther e is a “reasonable expectation that the same complaining party woul d be subject to the same action again and the a ction challenged

[would] be of such short durat ion that i t [could not] be fully litigated prior to its cessation.” In re J. T. , 22 1 Ill. 2d 338, 350 (2006). We decline to apply th at exception in this case, however, because the Board’s reimposition of EHC during Holly’s remaining MSR term i s purely

specula tive and d

oes not cr

eate a “ reasona ble expectation” that he will be subjected to EHC again. Nonetheless, this court has also reviewed mo ot controversies under the public interest exception. That exception applies where “(1) the question is of a substantial public nature; (2) there is a need for a n authori tative decision

to provide

future g uidance ; and (3) the situat

io n is likely to recur.” In re J.B. , 204 Ill. 2d 382, 387 (200 3). Unlike in
t he re currence exception, the public interest exception considers potential recurrences to any entity, not only

the compl ai ni ng pa rt y. See In re Andrea F. , 208 Ill. 2d 148, 157 (2003). Thus, we examine the applicability of the public intere st exception in this case. By statute, every

convicted felon in Illinois, except those serving
natur al life or de ath sente nces, is r equired to serve a term of MSR. 730 IL CS 5/5–8–1(d) (West 2006) . Cons equently, a lar ge group of-4- felons will be on M SR at least once, exposing ea

ch to the possib ility that the Board will impose EHC. The vas t number of felons potentia lly affected by the Boa

rd’s allegedly

improper imposition of EHC satisfies both the first and third pro ngs of th e public interest exception test, requiring a question of a substantial public nature and a likeliness of recurrence.
In examining the second prong of t he test, requiring future guidancefrom an authoritative decision, we note the substantial litigation address ing the imposition of EHC during

MSR in both Illin ois and fe deral courts. See Hadley v. Montes , No. 4–07–0506 (February 26, 2008); Neville v. Walker , 376 Ill. App. 3d

1115, 1119 (2007); Martin v. Walker, No. 04 C 6098 (N. D. I ll. December 1, 2004); Taylor

v. Remm ers , No. 01 C 51 34 (N.D. Ill. April 12, 2002). The ongoing litigation on EHC warrants an author itative determination on the validity of the Boa rd’s imposition of

EHC as a condition of MSR. Having determined that th is case falls within the public interest exception to the mootness doctrine, we turn next to the merits of Holly’s reque st for mandamus

.

II . The Ava

ilability of EHC As a

Condition of

MSR

“ Mandamus is an extraordinary re medy to enfor ce, as a matter of right, ‘the performance of official duties by a public officer where no exercise of discr etion on hi s part is in

volved.’ [Cita tion.]” L ewis E.

v. Spagnolo , 186 Ill. 2d 198, 229 (1999). To obtain relief, a pla intiff
must establish a cle ar right

to mandamus

. Noyola v. Board of Education of the City of Chica go , 179 Ill. 2d 121, 133 (1997). Mandamus is imprope

r where “ ‘its ef fect is “to substitut

e the court’s judgment or di scre tion for th at of the body which is c ommanded

to act.” ’ [Citation.]” Lewis E.
, 186 I ll. 2d at 22 9. Consequ ently , we will
notgrant mandamus relief unless the plaintiff has clearly shown: (1)

an affirma

tive rig ht to relie

f; (2) de fendant ’s dut y to act; and (3) defendant’s authority to comply with the order. Noyola
, 179 Ill. 2d at 136 (Bilandic, J., dissenting).

A. The Board’ s Statutory Authority Holly pr imaril y a

rgues t hat mandamus is required because the Board had no sta

tutory authority to impose

EHC as a condition of his-5- MSR. In a related a

rgument, he contends that the B oard lacked the authorit y to impose

EHC at the time of the offenses and that any reliance on the legislature’s subsequent grant of authority violates the

ex post facto

clause of the Constitution (U.S. Const., art. I, §10). After construing the pertinent statutes, we disagree. In construi n g statut es, our primary duty is to give ef

fect to the i nte ntof the legislature. Collins v. Board of Trustees of Firemen’s A nnuity & Benefit Fund , 155 Ill. 2d 103, 110 (1993). The bes t indicator of legi slative in

tent i s the pl ain statutory lang uage when givenits ordinary meaning

. Rosewood Care Center, Inc. v. Caterpilla r, Inc. , 226 Ill. 2d 559, 567 (2007). W e may not add exception s, limitations , or cond itions tostatutes in derog ation of th eir plain meaning. To wn & Country Utilities, Inc. v. Illinois Pollution Control Boa rd , 225 Ill. 2d 103, 117 (2007).
At all relevant times, section 3–3–7(a) of the Unified Code of Corrections (Code) p

rovided t hat the “ conditio ns of parole or mandatory

supervised release shall be such as the Prisoner Review Board deems necessary to assist the subjec t in leading a law-abiding life.” (Emphases added.) 730 I LCS 5/3–3–7(a) (West 2006). We have held that the legislature’s use of the word “shall” generally indicates a mandat ory require ment. Village of

Winfield v. Illinois State Labor Relations Board , 176 Ill. 2d 54, 6 4 (1997). Thus, section 3–3–7(a) grantsthe Board wi de aut hority to establi sh any

MSR conditio ns it deems necessary . This concl u sion is further supported by section 3–3–1(a) of the Cod

e, estab lishing th

e Boar d as “ the auth ority for setting conditions of *** mandatory super vised release under

Section 5–8–1(a).” (Emphasis added.) 730 IL CS 5/3–3–1(a)(5) (West 2006). See also 20 I

ll. Adm. Code § 1610.80 ( “mandat ory supervis ed rele ase *** [is] subject to rules of conduct prescribed by

the Board and any special condition s deeme d appro pria te by the

Board in individual cases” (emphasis added)). Applying the plain statutory lang

uage, the Code

grants the Board wide discretion in the setting of MSR conditions, restri cted o nly by constitutional constraints. In the absence of a constitutional violation, however, thi s discretionis sufficiently broad to include the imposition of EHC as a condition of MSR. Additionally, the quoted portion of section 3–3–7(a) was in effect both in 1996, when Holly committed offense, and in 2007, when the Board impos ed EHC, cont rary to-6- Holly’s contention that the Board’ s relianc e on autho rity granted only after he committed the offenses raised ex post fa cto concer ns. In addition
, we note that the legislature’s broad g rant of blanket discretionary

au th or it y t o th e Board in setting MSR is not improper

or unique. We have previously a cknowledged the propriety of the legislature’s similar, b

road g rant of a uthority to the Board to award

or deny parole . In Hanrahan v. Williams , 174 Ill. 2d 268 (1996), we determinedthat the G

eneral Assemb ly gr anted the Board such “comple te discretion” over whether or not to grant parole tha tjudicial review of parole denials was improper. Hanrahan
, 174 Ill. 2d at 276 (“We believe that Illinois’ statutory criteria and theBoard’s rules do
notprovide s tandard s for release on parole s ufficie

ntly objectiv e to allow a court to evaluate the Board’s decision to deny parole. We thus conclude that the legislature, in drafting the statutor y langu age, intended the Board to have comp lete discretion in determining whether to grant p arole

when the denial of parole is not mandated by statute”). Holly counter s that the l egisla

ture dem onstrate d its intention that EHC only be imposed on cer tain sex offende rs by

mandatin g its application for

only those offende

rs in section 5–8–1(d) (5) (730 IL CS 5/5–8–1(d)(5) (West

2006)). Because he was not convicte d of one of the listed off

enses, he conte nds th at EHC ca

nnot be ap

plied to him

. We reject this arg ument. The mand atory imposition o f EHC as a MSR condition

for one s pecifie d class of

offende rs does not logica

lly mean tha t the same

condition

may not also a

pply to another

class of offende rs. Indeed, sect

ion 3–3–7(

b) (730 I LCS 5/3 –3–7(b) (

West 2006)) permits the Board to i mpose “ other conditions” in a term of MSR in addition to those specifically listed in that section. That flexibility in the esta

blishment o f MSR conditions comp orts with the legislature’s broad g rant of authority to the Boa rd in setting conditions “such as the [Board] deems necessary to assist the subject in leading a law-abiding life” (730 IL CS 5/3–3–7(a) (West 2006)). Interpreting

section 5–8–1(d)(5) as Holly suggests woul d c reate conflicts with the broad po wers pla inly granted in section 3–3–7(a). Under the doctrine o f i n pari mate ria , we must in terpre t statutesin harmony with other statutes on the same subject whenever possible. Peoplev. McCarty , 223 Ill. 2d 109, 133 (2006). Therefor e, we decline
to follow Holly’s construction of these sections because it nullifies-7- the broad general powers g ranted to the Board in sections 3–3–7(a) and 3–3–7(b) of

the Co de. I

nstea d, we will h armo nize

the statutes by interpreting section 5–8– 1(d)(5 ) to mandate the imposition of EHC

on only the identified sex offende rs. I n its discretion, the Board may also choose to impose EHC on other offender s if it deems that condition “neces sary

to assist the su bject in leading a law-abiding life” (730 IL

CS 5/3–3–7(a) (West 2006)). Nonetheless, Holly further contends that other portions of section 3–3–7 demons trate th e legis lature’ s intent to l imit EHC to sp ecific circumstances not present in his case. Again, he misreads the statutes. For e xample, Holly asserts that subsection (a )(15) of section 3–3–7 sho ws that the Board lacks the power to impose EHC. That subsection merely

states, however, that a MSR subject must “follow anyspecific

instructi ons provided by the parole agent tha t ar e consistent with furthering conditions set and appr oved by the Prisoner Review Board or by law, exclusive of plac ement on electro nic detention, to achieve the goals and ob jective s of his *** mandatory

supervised release. ” (Em phases a dded.) 7 30 IL

CS 5/3–3–7(a)(15) (W es t 2 00 6) . A pp lyi ng it s plain language, that subsection limits only what pa rol e age nts may demand of

their supervisees while the agents attempt to enforce the Board’s specif ied MSR conditions, not whatconditions the Board may initially

impose. Holly als o notes the absence of EHC from the list of conditions suggested in subsection (b), as well as the specification of electronic monitoring only for

sex offen ders in

subsection (b–1). Subsection (b) provides th at “[ t] he Bo ar d m ay in addition to other c onditions require that the subject” co m ply

with a var

iety of condit

ions. (Emphasis added.) 730 I

LCS 5/3–3–7(b) (West 2006). Subsection (b–1), in turn, provides
, “[i]n addition to the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and (b), persons required to register a s sex offenders pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Act, upon release from

the custody of the Illin ois Department of

Corrections, may

be requi red by the Boa rd to comply withthe following

specific condition s of rele ase,” th en lists those possible c ond it io ns. 730 ILCS 5/ 3–3 –7( b–1 ) (W est 200 6). In eachcase, t

he l anguage makes the specified MSR conditions availab le “in addition” to any other conditions the Board may impose. See 730 IL

CS 5/3–3–7(b) , ( b–1) (West 2006). Subsections (b) and (b–1) plainly do not, as Holly claims, exclude EHC from the possible-8- conditions the Board may find “necessary

to assist the subject” under section 3–3–7(a) of the Code (730 I LCS 5/3–3–7(a) (West 2006)). Furthermore, Holly’s arg

ument that subsection (b –1)(6) limits the

u se of EHC to se

x offende rs suffe rs from th

e same in firmity as hi s interpretation of

section 5–8–1(d)(5). Under subsection (b–1)(6), the Board may require

a sex offender to be“electronically monitored for

a minimum of 12 months fr om the da te of release.”730 I LCS 5/3–3–7(b–1) (W es t 2 00 6) . H ol ly’ s a rg um en t i mp ro pe rl y as sumes that by requiring the Board to impose a minimum term of EHC on sex offende rs, if that condition is imposed at all, the legislatureintended
to preclude the Board’s use of EHC fo r a ny other ca

tegory of offender. This interpretation does not comport witheither logic or the plain language of the statute. The pl ain mandate that any sex offende rs place d on EHC re

main subject to it

for at least 12 months does not implicitly address the imposition of EHC on other any ty pe of offenders. Subsection (b–1)(6) say s nothing about the Board’s authority to impose EHC of any

duration on other offenders. I ndeed, the legislature’s statutory

scheme grants the Board wide discretionary authority in establishing any MSR conditions it deems “n ec es sa ry” (730 IL CS 5/3–3–7( a) (West 2 006)) and specif ically permit s the Board to impose other, unstated, conditions on offenders (730 IL CS 5/3–3–7(b) (West 2006) (allo wing the Boa rd to impose the listed conditions “in addition to other conditions”)). Holly’s arguments fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the MSR conditions listed in subsections 3–3–7(b) and (b–1). They are merely examples o f the condit io ns within the Board’s wide, discretionary

authority, not a list of all possible options. We agree withthe appe

llate court’sanaly sis in Neville v. Walker , 376 Ill. App. 3d 1115, 1119 (2007), rejecting the defendant’s ar gument that EHC could not be imposed on him because subsection (b–1) was not i n effect at the time of

his crime . In r

eaching its conclusion, the Neville court explained:
“In 1999 when defendant committed his cr ime , was convicted, and was sentenced, the Board had the di scretion

to impose whatever condition it deemed ‘necessary to assist the subject in leading a law-abiding life.’ The 2005 amendme

nts merely enumerated conditions that may be app lie d specific ally

to sex offenders serving MSR. Because the-9- change in law ‘ “simp ly explic itly articulated the [Board ’s] broad range of discretion which had always existed,” ’ the change did not disa

dvantag e defendant.” (

Emphasis a

d ded.) Neville , 376 Ill. App. 3d at 1120. Contrary to Holly’s arg

uments, the Board has the statutory authority to impose electronic

home conf

inement a s a

condition of his mandatory

supervised release. Holly has no r ight , let alone a clear right, to demand

th a t the Boa

rd rele ase him fr

om EHC during his MSR because

the imposition of that condition was a pr oper exer cise of the Boa rd’s stat utory discreti on. Without a

clear s howing o f his affirmative right to relief, Holly has failed to establish h is rightto mandamus relief, and his complaint must fail. Noyola v. Boa rd of Education of the City of Chicago , 179 Ill. 2d 121, 136 (1997).

B. Holly’s D ue Proce ss Rights Next, we turn to Holly’s ar gument that

the imp osition of EHC violated his due process rights because it sub jected him to incarceration

after the completion of his prison sentence. He observes that this cour

t has previously

held that

“a convict is im

prisone d withoutdue process of law and entitled to his release where it is made
to appear that he is held in confinement after hi s sen tence has expired.” People ex rel. Michaels v. Bowen , 367 Ill. 589, 593 (1937). Ini ti al ly, we note that Holly’s a rgument misrepresents his status while on MSR. At oral argument, Holly claimed that he could either be incarcerated, or enjoy

his “freedom,” but

that he c ould not la

wfully be held in limb o betwee

n the two. He arg

ued that h e “was e ntitled to be released from the custody of the Department of Corrections after serving his sentence less credit for time served and good time credit.” Under established law, however, the contrar y is true. While on MSR, Holly is not free. He re mains in the custody

of the Department

of Corrections and is subject to ongoing supervision. Section 3–14– 2(a) of the Code specifically provides that “[t]he Department

shall ret ain custo dy o f all perso ns placed on parole or mandatory

supervised release *** and shall supervise s u ch persons during their pa

role or r elease period in accord with the conditions set by the Prisoner Review Board.” 730 IL CS 5/3–14–2(a) (West 2006). Holly also remains under sentence. I n section 5–8–1(d) o f t he-10- Code, the leg isl at ure established a period of mandatory supervised releas e to be included as a part o f eve ry sentence of imprisonment

. 730 IL CS 5/5–8–1( d) (West 20 06) (“[E]v ery sentenc e shall inc lu d e

as though w ritten the rein a term in addition to the term of imprisonme

nt. *** [S]uch term shall be ide ntif ied as a mandatory supervised release term”). Thus, because

he was sti ll in the De

partmen t of Cor rection s’ custody and under sentence, Holly was not unconstitutionally subject
to EHC while

on MSR. Contr

ary to his argume

nt, he wa s not “entitled to be released from the custody of the Depart

ment of Corrections after

servi ng his sentence.” MSR was a mandatory part of his sen tence. He was not

ye t entitled to full fr eedom. Fi na ll y, Holly

argue s that EHC c onstitu te s an unlawful continuation of “custody”after the completion of his sentence because the addit ional phy sical co nfineme nt “conve rte d [h is] MSR into imprisonment.” This argument confuses the concepts of custody and imprisonment. A defendant may be in cust ody and may

not be imprisoned. See People v. Beach e m , No. 104976, slip op. at ___ (May 22, 2008).
Her e, H olly was still in the custody of the Department of Corrections and still under sent ence wh ile on MSR . He ca nnot, ho wever, c laim a viol ation of his due pr ocess rights throu gh “imprison ment” beyond his prison sentence whe n this court has already recog nized that home conf ineme nt is n ot the equivalent of incarceration

in the penitentiary. As we explained in People v. Ramos , 138 Ill. 2d 152, 159 (1990):
“H ome confinement, though restrictive, differs in sever a l importantrespects from confinement in a jail or pr ison. An offend erw ho is detained at home is not subject to the regimentationof p enal institutions and, once inside the residence, enjoys unrestrict ed fr eedom of

activity , movemen

t, and association. Furthermore, a d efe ndant con fined to h

is residence does not suffer the same surveillance and lac k of privacy associated with becoming a member o f an incarcerated population.” Accord People v. Gonzales , 314 Ill. App. 3d 993 (2000) (following Ramos ). Even though Ramos and Go nzal es arose in signific antly-11- di fferent contexts than the present case, the differences note d betwee n in carceration a nd home confinement are nonetheless applicable. EHC during MSR does not constitute continued incarceration. Thus, there is no legal basis for

Holly’s claim that

he was unlawfully

incarcerated when he w as subjected to EHC a s a condit ion of his M SR.

C. The Bene

fit of the Pl

ea Bargai n Holly’s final ar

gument i s that impos ing EHC a s a condition of

his MSR violated the contract he formed with the State when he entered his negotiated guilty

plea. Relying

on People v . Whit

field , 217 I

ll. 2d 177 (2005), Holly claims that the funda mental unfairness of the breach denied him due process. We, however , conclud e that Holly

was not denied the ben efit of his ple a barg ain and di stinguis h Whitf ield

. When Holly

entere d his plea , the cir

cui t court a

dmonished

him that he wo

uldreceive both a term of y ears inside the penitentiary a s well as a term of MSR for each c ou nt of conv iction. Th

is admonishm

e nt ma terially

distingu ishes this c ase fro m Whitf ield
, wh ere the court never admonished the defendant that he w ould be requir ed to s erve a term of MSR in addition to his term of imprisonme

nt. Whitf ield
, 217 Il l. 2d at 180. Holly cites no case or additi onal legal author

ity sugg esting that the lack of an admonishment
at a defendant’s plea

hearing about the specific conditions that will be imposed during t

he statuto ry MSR term is f

undament ally unfair and violative of due pr ocess. Here, the Boa rd did not re quire Holl y to do anythi ng more t han the legislature mandated in section 5–8–1(d) (730 I LCS 5/5–8–1(d) (West 2006)). He was required to serv e his term in pr ison and hi s termon MSR, in accordance of the admonishment he received when he entered his plea. The absence of a specific admonishment that EHC could be a potential MSR condition does not cha nge th e essentia l terms of his plea a

greem ent. As noted, the legislature granted t he Board wide discr

etion in determining the nece ssary MSR conditio ns. See 73 0 IL CS 5/3–3–7 (a) (West 2006). When he entered his plea, Hol ly volun tarily acc epted the possibility that theBoard would impose EHC as oneof his MSR condition s. The uncertain nature of the precise MSR conditions that-12- would be impose d did not ma

ke the ple a agreement any les s fair or binding on him. Thisconclusi on is necess arily true because, at the time of the plea, a defendant cannot cla im any

reasona ble expectations about the exact conditions that the Board may , in its sole discretion, ultimately “de e m[ ] necessa ry to assist th

e subjec t in leading a law-a biding li fe” whil e on MSR.
In short, Holly has no persuasive basis for his claim that he has been de nied the benefit of his plea bargain or that the imposition of EHC as a cond

ition of hisMSR was fundame ntally unf air and a violation of his due processrights. Thus, we r eject tho se argume

nts.

CONCLUSIO N Ac co rd in gl y, we hold that the Board h as the sta tutory authority to impose EHC as a condition of MSR, that the impos ition of EHC during MSR does not constitute imprisonment following the completion of a defendant’s sentence, and that a defendant

need not be advised of the specific, potential conditions of MSR that may be impo sed to c reate a

valid and

binding p lea ag

reemen t. Thus, Ho lly has notclearly

established his affirmative right to mandamus relief. We, therefore, deny

his reques t fo r mandamus and dismisshis complain t.

Mandamus denied; complaint dismissed.
