The data shows that 66 men and three women were released in the Joliet zip code. Of the parolees, three were veterans, and the median age was 37. The youngest parolee was an 18-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2016, and the oldest was an 59-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Richard Vasquez. He was convicted of homicide in 2004, when he was 26 years old. He is now 40.
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.
