Sentencing
(Court opinion corrected 10/8/14.) Defendant was convicted of possessing contraband (dangerous weapon) in a penal institution, and sentenced as Class X offender to 14 years in prison. Although MSR was never mentioned at sentencing hearing, after commitment DOC added three-year MSR term. A term of MSR is part of every qualifying sentence regardless of whether term is mentioned during sentencing or omitted from sentencing order.(SIMON and LIU, concurring.)
