The data shows that 25 men and three women were released in the East Saint Louis zip code. The median age of the parolees was 38. The youngest parolee was a 17-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2015, and the oldest was a 57-year-old man convicted of a crime against a person in 2014.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Eric Jackson. He was convicted of homicide in 1994, when he was 23 years old. He is now 48.
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.
