The data shows that 87 men and 12 women were released in the Decatur zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 34. The youngest parolee was a 17-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2015, and the oldest was a 62-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Charles Pickett. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2008, when he was 27 years old. He is now 38.
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.
