There were 26 offenders released on parole during 2019 that live near Illinois zip code 62471, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by South Central Reporter.

The data shows that 21 men and five women were released in Vandalia zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 36. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a crime involving one or more weapons in 2018, and the oldest was a 59-year-old woman convicted of a crime against a person in 2018.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Larry Willis. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2012, when he was 51 years old. He is now 59.

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.
