This lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of a legal scheme whereby individuals who have been convicted of certain sex-related crimes in Illinois end up serving life sentences in prison as the result of the interactions of various state laws and state agency regulations promulgated by three distinct entities—the Illinois legislature, the Prisoner Review Board (“PRB”) and the Illinois Department of Corrections (“IDOC”).
