(Previous court opinion withdrawn.) In 2005, Defendant was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and several other sex crimes. Defendants was previously convicted of other sex crimes. In lieu of prosecution on new charges, State sought Defendant's civil commitment, and in 2006 he was adjudicated a sexually dangerous person and was committed to DOC. Defendant may seek judicial review of treatment decisions of Director of DOC only after all administrative remedies have been availed of and exhausted. Defendant did not allege that he sought administrative review of his treatment, he did not allege exception to the doctrine of exhaustion, and nothing in record indicates that his compliance with DOC's grievance procedures would be impractical or unjust. Court properly dismissed Defendant's complaint for failure to exhaust DOC's administrative remedies. (McLAREN and ZENOFF, concurring.)
