There were 10 offenders convicted of drug crimes released on parole in Champaign during the first quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the Chambana Sun.

The data shows that eight men and two women were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for drug crimes was 36. The youngest parolee was a 23-year-old man sentenced in 2018, and the oldest was a 65-year-old man sentenced in 2017.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was Brianne A. Howell. She was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2015 when she was 36 years old. She is now 40.
