13edited

There are three inmates sentenced in Champaign County set to be released from jail during the week ending Jan. 18, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

In total, two men and one woman are set to be released over this period. The longest-serving individual among them is a 43-year-old male convicted of aggravated burglary with use of a deadly weapon in 2022.

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.

According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois spends about $45,828 a year per incarcerated person. In a 2023 study by the Prison Policy Initiative, the state's incarceration rate was at 433 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 700 per 100,000.

One of the reasons behind jail growth is how pretrial detainees are handled. Another study by the Prison Policy Initiative noted that the number of unconvicted individuals was more than two times higher than convicted individuals.
