There were seven offenders released on parole during the first quarter that live in Christian County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by South Central Reporter.

The data shows that all of the released offenders in Christian County were men. The median age of the parolees was 35. The youngest parolee was a 23-year-old man sentenced for a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 45-year-old man sentenced for homicide in 2000.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Lee A. Dodson. He was convicted of homicide in 2000 when he was 25 years old. He is now 45.

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.

The table below gives a breakdown of how many offenders were paroled in the first quarter in each Christian County municipality.
