Webp police 03

There were 11 offenders released on parole during the first quarter of 2020 that live in Crawford County, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by East Central Reporter.

The data shows that nine men and two women were released in Crawford County. Of the parolees, one is a veteran, and the median age is 38. The youngest parolee was a 19-year-old man sentenced for a financial crime or fraud in 2019, and the oldest was a 60-year-old man sentenced for a property crime in 2018.

The offender who had been incarcerated the longest was Ryan D. Waldrop. He was convicted of a crime against one or more children in 2018 when he was 32 years old. He is now 35.

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.

The table below gives a breakdown of how many offenders were paroled in the first quarter of 2020 in each Crawford County municipality with at least one parolee in the quarter.
