The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Christopher Whitfield. He was convicted in 2019 when he was 41 years old. He is now 42.
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.
