Respondent, having been found a sexually dangerous person (SDP), filed a pro se application alleging recovery under the Illinois Sexually Dangerous Persons Act. After bench trial, court found that he remained an SDP. Court failed to make an explicit finding as to Respondent's probability of engaging in future sexual offenses if not confined. A new hearing is required. Remanded for a full rehearing on Respondent's recovery application.  (McDADE, concurring; SCHMIDT, dissenting.)
