Police 07

There were three offenders convicted of homicide released on parole in Chicago Heights during the third quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the South Cook News.

The data shows that three men were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for homicide was 32. The youngest parolee was a 27-year-old man sentenced in 2008, and the oldest was a 40-year-old man sentenced in 1997.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Rodney Sanchez. He was convicted of homicide in 1997 when he was 18 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.
