The data shows that three men and two women were released in the Elwood zip code. The median age of the parolees was 29. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old woman convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2017, and the oldest was a 32-year-old woman convicted of a crime against a person in 2016.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Robert Williams. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2015, when he was 30 years old. He is now 34.
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.
