The data shows that both of the released offenders in the River Forest zip code were men. The younger parolee was a 25-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the other was a 40-year-old man convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Wayne Bielaga. He was convicted of a financial crime or fraud in 2017, when he was 40 years old. He is now 41.
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.
