The data shows that 383 men and 17 women were released in the Chicago zip code. Of the parolees, two were veterans, and the median age was 36. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of homicide in 2018, and the oldest was a 75-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Earl Johnson. He was convicted of homicide in 1980, when he was 23 years old. He is now 62.
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.
