The data shows 160 men and 14 women were among the parolees. Of the parolees sentenced for crimes against persons, two were veterans, and the median age was 33. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man sentenced in 2021, and the oldest was a 63-year-old man sentenced in 2020.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Robert Sperlik. He was convicted in 2006 when he was 46 years old. He is now 63.
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.
