The data shows that 14 men and two women were released in the Effingham zip code. The median age of the parolees was 38. The youngest parolee was a 20-year-old man convicted in 2018, and the oldest was a 58-year-old man convicted of a crime involving alcohol in 2016.
The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Andres Andino. He was convicted of homicide in 1999, when he was 25 years old. He is now 44.
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.
