The data shows that 10 men and two women were released in the Du Quoin zip code. The median age of the parolees was 32. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was a 55-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Kelvin Penson. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2017, when he was 20 years old. He is now 23.
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.
