The data shows that 39 men and six women were released in Urbana zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 37. The youngest parolee was an 18-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2016, and the oldest was an 67-year-old man convicted of a crime involving alcohol in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Douglas Dees. He was convicted of homicide in 1983, when he was 24 years old. He is now 61.
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.
