There were seven offenders living in Edgar County released on parole during the first quarter of 2021, according to Illinois Department of Corrections data obtained by East Central Reporter.

The data shows six men and one woman were released in Edgar County. The median age of the parolees was 37. The youngest parolee was a 24-year-old man sentenced for a crime involving drugs in 2020, and the oldest was a 52-year-old man sentenced for a crime against justice in 2020.

The offender incarcerated the longest was Luke M. Mason. He was convicted of a property crime in 2017 when he was 35 years old. He is now 40.

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 2021 in each Edgar County municipality with at least one parolee in the quarter.
