The data shows that two men and one woman were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for public safety violations was 30. The youngest parolee was a 24-year-old man sentenced in 2019, and the oldest was a 36-year-old man sentenced in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Eric McWane. He was convicted in 2018 when he was 34 years old. He is now 36.
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.
