There were 12 offenders released on parole during the first quarter that live in Randolph County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by SW Illinois News.

The data shows that 10 men and two women were released in Randolph County. The median age of the parolees was 34. The youngest parolee was a 22-year-old man sentenced for a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 58-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Justin A. White. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2015 when he was 26 years old. He is now 30.

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.
