The data shows that nine men and two women were released in Chicago zip code. The median age of the parolees was 37. The youngest parolee was a 27-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2018, and the oldest was a 50-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2016.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Ricardo Degante. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2013, when he was 23 years old. He is now 31.
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.
