Q4 2018 Recap: Parolees in Chicago convicted of crimes against persons

Police 05

There were 169 offenders convicted of crimes against persons released on parole in Chicago during the fourth quarter, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by the West Cook News.

The data shows that 156 men and 13 women were among the parolees. Of the parolees sentenced for crimes against persons, three were veterans, and the median age was 34. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man sentenced in 2017, and the oldest was a 62-year-old man sentenced in 2009.

The offender who was incarcerated the longest was David Hill. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2001 when he was 36 years old. He is now 53.

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.
