Shutterstock 184329281

There were three offenders convicted of crimes involving weapons released on parole in Markham during the second quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the South Cook News.

The data shows that two men and one woman were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for crimes involving weapons was 27. The youngest parolee was a 26-year-old woman sentenced in 2018, and the oldest was a 29-year-old man sentenced in 2018.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Laquisha Carson. She was convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018 when she was 24 years old. She is now 26.

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.

The table below shows the 50 cities in Illinois with the most paroled offenders in Q2 2018 who were convicted of crimes involving weapons.
