The data shows that 206 men and 20 women were released in the Chicago zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 40. The youngest parolee was an 18-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was an 36-year-old man convicted of homicide in 1978.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Charles Smith. He was convicted of homicide in 1972, when he was 26 years old. He is now 73.
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.
