The data shows that 40 men and five women were released in the Lansing zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 38. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2016, and the oldest was a 67-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Larry Brent. He was convicted of homicide in 1994, when he was 22 years old. He is now 46.
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.
