The data shows a man and a woman were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for homicide was 62. The younger parolee was a 56-year-old woman sentenced in 1996, and the oldest was a 68-year-old man sentenced in 1984.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Warren Peters Jr. He was convicted in 1984 when he was 30 years old. He is now 68.
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.
