He couldn\u2019t comply with PLRA. \u201cWe reverse and remand for further proceedings. King&#8217;s transfer to the state prison facility made it impossible for him to comply with the jail&#8217;s specified grievance procedures, so there were no available remedies to exhaust. We also reverse the court&#8217;s dismissal of King&#8217;s Eighth Amendment claim. He has alleged a plausible Eighth Amendment claim that the use of the unusual jumpsuit had no legitimate correctional purpose but was instead used to humiliate and inflict psychological pain. See Calhoun v. DeTella, 319 F.3d 936, 939 (7th Cir. 2003) (reversing dismissal of Eighth Amendment claim based on strip-search). We also conclude, however, that, as a convicted prisoner, King is not entitled to proceed on remand with his theory that requiring him to wear the jumpsuit subjected him to an unreasonable search in violation of the Fourth Amendment.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ca7.uscourts.gov\/cgi-bin\/rssExec.pl?Submit=Display&#038;Path=Y2015\/D03-27\/C:13-1769:J:PerCuriam:aut:T:fnOp:N:1524418:S:0\">King v.
