Cordrey v. Illinois Prisoner Review Board

Mandamus petitioner, who had been incarcerated at Menard Correctional Center, and challenged prison practice of "violation at the door", when prison fails to release inmate on date schedule for Mandatory Supervised Release (MSR) to begin because inmate is unable to fulfill Prison Review Board's mandate for release, in this case for electronic monitoring. Inmate failed to establish clear right to demand that Respondents release him to serve his MSR at a suitable host location outside of prison, when no suitable location has been found. DOC was unable to find placement due to inmate's status as a sex offender, rather than his status as indigent.(GARMAN, FREEMAN, KILBRIDE, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
