The data shows that 33 men and five women were released in the Mattoon zip code. Of the parolees, three were veterans, and the median age was 36. The youngest parolee was a 22-year-old man convicted of a crime involving drugs in 2016, and the oldest was a 67-year-old man convicted in 2018.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Douglas McKibben. He was convicted of a sex crime in 2011, when he was 44 years old. He is now 52.
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.
