The data shows that the 152 released offenders living in the Chicago Heights zip code were men. Of the parolees, two were veterans, and the median age was 37. The youngest parolee was an 18-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was an 60-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2015.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Carl Williams. He was convicted of homicide in 1989, when he was 32 years old. He is now 63.
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.
