Prison Litigation Reform Act: Civil Commitment
281:70 Persons civilly committed as sexually violent predators under California statute are not "prisoners" for purposes of Prison Litigation Reform Act; Act's exhaustion of remedies and financial reporting requirements, therefore, do not apply to them. Page v. Torrey, No. 98- 56526, 98-56591, 201 F.3d 1136 (9th Cir. 2000).
