The data shows that a man and a woman were among the parolees. Of the parolees sentenced for homicide, one was a veteran. The younger parolee was a 51-year-old man sentenced in 1998, and the oldest was a 55-year-old woman sentenced in 2017.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Jamie Munson. He was convicted in 1998 when he was 29 years old. He is now 51.
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.
