The data shows that 281 men and five women were released in the Kankakee zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 38. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2017, and the oldest was a 63-year-old man convicted of homicide in 2004.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Leonardo Nunez. He was convicted of homicide in 1990, when he was 40 years old. He is now 70.
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.
