Jan.-June 2018 Recap: Parolees in Justice convicted of crimes against persons

Police 07

There were two offenders convicted of crimes against persons released on parole in Justice during the first half of 2018, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the South Cook News.

The data shows that a man and woman were released in Justice. The younger parolee was a 35-year-old man sentenced in 2005. The other was a 36-year-old woman sentenced in 2017.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Gregory L. Coleman II. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2005 when he was 22 years old. He is now 35.

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.
