20 inmates sentenced in Dupage County to be released from Illinois Department of Corrections during January
There were 20 inmates sentenced to jail in Dupage County that will be released from the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections during January.
The inmate being released that served the longest time was Jose L. Montanez for attempted murder with intent to kill or injure. Jose L. Montanez spent more than 26 years incarcerated.
According to The Institute for Illinois’ Fiscal Sustainability, Illinois spends about $37,000 a year per incarcerated person. In a study by Prison Policy Initiative, Illinois incarceration rate was at 564 per 100,000, higher than every industrialized country, except the United States. When compared with its surrounding states, Illinois was the lowest. Kentucky and Missouri have rates over 850 per 100,000.
One of the issues is how pretrial detainees are now handled. The Vera Institute of Justice noted that pretrial detainees made up 71% of the total jail population.
Most prison inmates are released on some condition of supervised monitoring upon reentering civilian life. This monitoring can last from 1 year to the rest of someone’s life.
