Defendant pled guilty to theft, and was sentenced to 4 years probation and 180 days in jail with no day-for-day credit. A defendant may challenge a sentence as void without first moving to withdraw the guilty plea under Rule 604(d). A court has no authority to deny good-behavior credit except if one of enumerated statutory exceptions applies, per County Jail Good Behavior Allowance Act. (McDADE and CARTER, concurring.)
