The data shows that 44 men and nine women were released in the East Saint Louis zip code. The median age of the parolees was 35. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 64-year-old woman convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2016.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Michael Crawford. He was convicted of homicide in 1995, when he was 22 years old. He is now 46.
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.
