The data shows a man and a woman were among the parolees. The median age of the parolees sentenced for homicide was 40. The younger parolee was a 31-year-old woman sentenced in 2021, and the oldest was a 49-year-old man sentenced in 1995.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Gregory J. Dilworth. He was convicted in 1995 when he was 21 years old. He is now 49.
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.
