The data shows that 24 men and four women were released in the Wheaton zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 33. The youngest parolee was an 18-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was an 53-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Francis Tompkinson. He was convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2014, when he was 33 years old. He is now 38.
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.
