There were 23 offenders released on parole during the second quarter of 2019 that live in Marion County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by South Central Reporter.

The data shows that 20 men and three women were released in Marion County. The median age of the parolees was 32. The youngest parolee was a 21-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving drugs in 2018, and the oldest was a 43-year-old man sentenced for a sex crime in 2018.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Walter H. Williams. He was convicted of a property crime in 2017 when he was 29 years old. He is now 32.

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.
