possibilities among various offenders. Felons placed on probation with the first six months to be served in county jail are regarded by the sentencing judge as less serious offenders than those felons sentenced to the penitentiary with no probation. As indicated by the court in Burton, “felons [sentenced to the penitentiary] are in greater need of rehabilitation and need a greater incentive, in the form of good time credits, to get them to conform their behavior to what society will accept.” Burton, 100 Ill. App. 3d at 1023. The good-time credit programs are designed to promote prison discipline; therefore, it is reasonable that persons who are subjected to a penitentiary sentence may need more incentives to conform their behavior to prison rules. Burton, 100 Ill. App. 3d at 1024 (<HOLDING>). We conclude the legislature’s decision to
holding that youthful offender could be sentenced in excess of six year cap where probation violation was substantive in that he committed several criminal offenses holding that under goodtime credit rules it was constitutional for a felon sentenced to one year in the illinois department of corrections to be released before a misdemeanant sentenced to six months in a county jail holding that a defendant must be granted credit for time served in any institution serving as the functional equivalent of a county jail holding that jail records can properly be considered in determining jail credit issues raised pursuant to rule 3800a holding that a person who was a juvenile at the time of the offense cannot be sentenced to death
