The data shows that 147 men and six women were released in Chicago zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 38. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2019, and the oldest was a 76-year-old man convicted of homicide in 2015.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Raymond Washington. He was convicted of homicide in 1994, when he was 29 years old. He is now 54.
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.
