The data shows that 236 men and 29 women were released in the Chicago zip code. Of the parolees, two were veterans, and the median age was 43. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2018, and the oldest was a 77-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Peter Assenato. He was convicted of homicide in 1989, when he was 42 years old. He is now 72.
Under state law, paroled offenders are still in legal custody of the IDOC, meaning they can be taken back to a correctional center at any time if the state has probable cause or a warrant.
