Week ending June 17: four inmates sentenced in Champaign County to be released from Illinois Department of Corrections

38edited

There are four inmates sentenced to jail in Champaign County set to be released from the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections during the week ending June 17.

The inmate being released who served the longest time was Terrell A. Brown for residential burglary. Terrell A. Brown spent more than seven years incarcerated.

According to The Institute for Illinois’ Fiscal Sustainability, Illinois spends about $37,000 a year per incarcerated person. In a study by Prison Policy Initiative, Illinois’ incarceration rate was at 564 per 100,000, higher than every industrialized country, except the United States. When compared with its surrounding states, Illinois was the lowest. Kentucky and Missouri have rates over 850 per 100,000.

One of the issues is how pretrial detainees are now handled. The Vera Institute of Justice noted that pretrial detainees made up 71% of the total jail population.

Most prison inmates are released on some condition of supervised monitoring upon reentering civilian life. This monitoring can last from one year to the rest of someone’s life.
