The data shows that 448 men and 36 women were released in the Chicago zip code. The median age of the parolees was 36. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was a 62-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2007.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Wendell Robinson. He was convicted of homicide in 1994, when he was 20 years old. He is now 44.
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.
