The data shows that 55 men and one woman were released in the North Chicago zip code. Of the parolees, five were veterans, and the median age was 38. The youngest parolee was a 22-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2018, and the oldest was a 60-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Reggie Gordon. He was convicted of homicide in 1998, when he was 21 years old. He is now 42.
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.
