The data shows that 62 men and three women were released in the Joliet zip code. Of the parolees, four were veterans, and the median age was 36. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2016, and the oldest was a 72-year-old man convicted of a crime involving alcohol in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Donovan Sims. He was convicted of homicide in 1992, when he was 19 years old. He is now 46.
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.
