The data shows that 37 men and one woman were released in the Matteson zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 33. The youngest parolee was a 21-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2018, and the oldest was a 22-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 1979.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Benjamin Kennedy. He was convicted of a property crime in 1979, when he was 22 years old. He is now 62.
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.
