The data shows that 100 men and 15 women were released in Decatur zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 35. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was a 64-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2019.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Devron Tyus. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2008, when he was 21 years old. He is now 33.
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.
