The data shows that man and woman were released in the Palos Heights zip code. The younger parolee was a 29-year-old woman convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2017, and the other was a 38-year-old man convicted of a crime against one or more children in 2016.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Thomas Schickel. He was convicted of a crime against one or more children in 2016, when he was 38 years old. He is now 40.
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.
