The data shows that 22 men and three women were released in the Charleston zip code. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age was 31. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted of a property crime in 2017, and the oldest was a 47-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2015.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Jared Plew. He was convicted of a crime against a person in 2014, when he was 21 years old. He is now 26.
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.
