The data shows that 109 men and four 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 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was a 61-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Michael Boone. He was convicted of a sex crime in 1985, when he was 28 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.
