The data shows that 13 men and two women were released in the Watseka zip code. The median age of the parolees was 32. The youngest parolee was a 21-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2018, and the oldest was a 43-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2013.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Jesse Thomas. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2013, when he was 43 years old. He is now 49.
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.
