The data shows that 24 men and one woman were released in the Melrose Park zip code. The median age of the parolees was 36. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2016, and the oldest was a 58-year-old woman convicted of a property crime in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Armando Alanis. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2011, when he was 43 years old. He is now 51.
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.
