The data shows that eight men and two women were released in the Bethalto zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 38. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2017, and the oldest was a 55-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Anthony Tinker. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2014, when he was 27 years old. He is now 32.
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.
